Actually, everthing you are exposed to every day has educational value. Every conversation that you have with peers, coworkers, friends, colleagues, customers, and even chance encounters with people who you don't know offer you an opportunity to learn and to compare what you learn to what you know.
With age should come wisdom and often wisdom is linked to remembering what you have learned and applying it to whatever you are encountering. One mistake that we must avoid is that we have learned enough up to this point to get us through the next year, month, next week, or even the next hour. We always need to grow and learn.
With each passing year, it becomes more clear that I really don't know as much as I thought I did. I am amazed by how much I can learn from all kinds of people. It helps to just be open to learning.
