In search of metaphor

The best way to learn a complex idea is to find it living inside something else you already understand.


"This," is like, "that."


An amateur memorizes. A professional looks for metaphors.


It's not a talent, it's a practice. When you see a story, an example, a wonderment, take a moment to look for the metaphor inside.


Lessons are often found where we look for them.
