One of the benefits of being "old as dirt" is that I have acquired a little wisdom over the years. Wisdom tells me that I am never too old to learn, and not to question its source. My children teach me things every day.
Learning is best achieved with an open heart and an open mind.
Wisdom/experience have also taught me a thing or two about people and their behaviours and motivations.

He is the best teacher among us.
