Teaching Is Key To Learning

Learning about the Feynman Technique was a bit of a breakthrough realization.

The Feynman Technique emphasizes the iterative practice of teaching/explaining in order uncover gaps in understanding, developing more knowledge to cover those gaps, and refining your ability to explain what you know in a manner that promotes understanding by the receiver.

Make the complex things simpler and more relatable for many. Draw from various perspective in order to make the right connection with the learner. This is not easy. I think this goes beyond the ability to just simplify. It creates a forcing function to deliver knowledge in multiple forms in order to make that connection. This challenge of teaching is what promotes a deeper level of understanding of the topic yourself.

This is my inspiration. And in order to promote this practice of learning through teaching, here I am, to share and teach what I can. To help you, to help me, to make progress.
