"You may have good grades, a double-degree today... but we older folks got an education in our time"
- On my lack of dexterity with the spade, while helping out with a bit of gardening
An amusing jibe at my expense, nonetheless something I've come to accept: There is always something to learn from someone, as long as I want to keep learning.
There is nothing like listening to, or speaking with genuine, unpretentious people whose lives do not just boast of conventional qualifications and titles but contain unfound treasures of wisdom and experience.
Why only gravitate toward the acclaimed, celebrated and prestigious, when we could pursue a different kind of education, from unlikely places and unlikely people?
Hungry for more!
