So, as I get older, I find that I pay more attention to people with a certain humility. (And not Rk's fake humility, as Clod pointed out, where at the end of the day he's still utterly self-absorbed and it's still all about him.)
I can't agree more. The more I learn the more I learn about what I don't know and on that note that I will never learn it all. I think the key is to stay engaged and take in as much as I can. In the end I will die.
