To learn, we must first be humble---our teachers are all over--if we should meet one,  we should not miss the opportunity.

Confucius 6th century BCE wrote:

I walk with two others and I am sure to count one as my teacher.

In HelloPoetry, we meet so many fellow-writers and admire each for their individual gifts.  We are not here to compete but to share.
we give credit where it is due; we encourage young and new writers; we admit the weaknesses of what we write; the more we endeavour and learn from others, the more we would mature; writing is an endless journey and we should savour every moment before us; let us look into the infinite beauty and wonder of life and the exquisiteness and aplendour of words and language;; let us open our heart before the fraternity and sorority of fellow-writers; let us make the world a better place through our utterances;  
this is a universal platform for us to stand on to express our originality and creativity for which we owe the founder a debt beyond words.  

The world is saved not by food alone but also by the nobility of the human spirit, the powers of the mind and the sanctity of the human heart.
