We receive training, advice, lessons, ... We can attend the latest masterclasses, go to the best schools, have the best mentor, pay thousands of euros, spend hundreds of hours, have the "coolest" certificates with the trendy topic on it. But it's not what we have, what we received or what it cost. It's what we … Continue reading The club of the curious people
Kids are constantly learning new stuff. For example, to tie their shoelaces. We don't always have the time or the patience to show them how to do it.
