Thank the person who taught you something, even if it was just how to jump-start a car. That’s a gift.

Teaching someone takes attention, patience, and a willingness to be slowed down, and almost none of it gets acknowledged. The person who showed you how to use the cables on a dead battery probably has no idea it stuck. Saying so does two things. It hands something back to them, and it makes you notice how much of what you can do arrived through other people.

Think of one person who taught you something small and useful. Send them a message this week naming the specific thing. It takes a minute, and people keep those.
