- Each new day is a day spent in school. Oh, not a school of the bricks and mortar and stern headmaster variety, but rather the school of life. There are new lessons to be learned every day out there–Valuable, transcendent lessons, to be sure!!–but we must eternally embrace the attitude of the student and be willing to engage and participate and learn. The learning process doesn’t come to an end as we age, nor does anyone ever become so full of knowledge that they become overly saturated with the irreplaceable stuff, causing it to begin dripping out of their pores analogous to sweat. We should all continue learning new things until the day we die, because if we are ever of the supercilious attitude that we know everything……well then, you may as well be dead at that juncture, since the amount of value you bring to society and to those who live within it is thereafter nil and you hastily mutate from an asset into a loathsome burden.
