Note from the editor
“Docendo discimus” is a Latin proverb that means “by teaching, we learn.” We’re all students, and we’re all teachers. Betterism is all about that personal development, practical gratitude, and intellectual growth. We want to create a better world by helping people create a better self. Great things will happen if you keep going. Trust the process and pass it on.
