    they have unlimited curiosity, and unlimited love and respect for you. they don’t just want to learn they want to hear you talk.

    for fucks sake, do not squander that special time.

    no one will ever look up to you with such love admiration and respect again.

    Treat every question as if it is the most important philosophical question of this generation. Because for them it is. think it out loud, teach them how you think.

    They are humans with full human intelligence, just less experience.

      I’ve unironically had entire existential crises over noticing someone younger than me at work or volunteering looking at me with a similar respect. Nothing says I’m having a great time like having someone’s confidence in you create doubt.
