Quote of the day:
“I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him.”—Galileo Galilei
Consider:
Everyone has at least one good quality or skill to pass on, and a wise person will look for that something. What some people have to offer is obvious, but with others it is hidden and it must be drawn out.
Sometimes the learning experience doesn’t center on some special skill or knowledge the other person has, but from simply being around that person and partaking of his or her good qualities, such as faith, patience, optimism, or outgoing love and concern for others.
You can even learn from some people about how not to behave, what not to do, and why not to follow in their footsteps. It’s been said that a wise man learns from his mistakes, but a wiser man learns from the mistakes of others.
If you can learn to see people from the angle of “this person has something to offer that can help make me a better person,” you’ll not only learn something, but you’ll also be more likely to focus on things you respect in them and thereby build stronger and more meaningful relationships.
