You Can Learn Anything

(bright music)

- [Narrator] Nobody's born smart.

We all start at zero.

Can't talk, can't walk,

certainly can't do algebra.

Adding, reading, writing,

riding a bike,

nobody's good at anything at first.

There was a time when Einstein couldn't count to 10

and Shakespeare had to learn his ABCs

just like the rest of us.

Thankfully, we're born to learn.

Slowly, surely, you stumble, slip, crawl,

fall, and fail, and fall,

frustrating, confusing, trying, struggling,

until one day, you walk.

One foot in front of the other.

One idea on top of the next.

Each wrong answer making your brain a little bit stronger.

Failing is just another word for growing

and you keep going.

This is learning.

Knowing that you'll get it

even if you haven't gotten it yet.

Because the most beautiful, complex concepts

in the whole universe are built on basic ideas

that anyone anywhere can understand.

Whoever you are, wherever you are,

you only have to know one thing,

you can learn anything.
