"Talking and lectures are how they teach you in school. But that is not how life teaches you, and I would say that life is the best teacher of all. Most of the time, life does not talk to you. It just sort of pushes you around. Each push is life saying, 'Wake up. There's something I want you to learn.'"
This week a co-worker asked me for some advice on his career path. I was happy to visit with him. As he thanked me I had to explain whatever knowledge I passed along as a product of learning from decades of mistakes.
Life's a good teacher, as long as we listen and don't drop out of class.
