How do I educate myself?

Read. Talk. Listen. My father used to say God gave me 2 eyes, 2 ears and 1 mouth for a reason. Read books about history, the world, people. Read the news. Read about a subject you don't know. Talk to new people from backgrounds outside of your own; from a different ethnicity, gender, socio-economic status, geographical location, age. Listen to more than the words, but to body language and the underlying message. Take it in, decide how it relates to you and how you can use it to move forward. Decide how you can impart your knowledge to others.
