I just watched @Nardwuar at #TEDxVancouver. He is amazing, and I can’t believe I had never heard of him before. What an inspiration!
Nardwuar is a citizen journalist who interviews music stars and politicians. He has a couple of suggestions for life which he shared which I think are excellent advice.
- Just ask. Don’t be afraid to ask because the worst thing that can happen is that you can be rejected.
- Do your research in advance and find ways to be creative.
- You will learn something in every thing you do. If you think you know everything, it’s time to quit.
- Be curious
I think this is good advice for our students too.

@Nardwar’s presentation would be great to show to students, in hopes that they would find the same message. While all points link to the goal of a life-long learner, #1 and #4 resonate the most for me.
Thanks for sharing.
