No Matter How Old We Are - Learn

I worked in the Bell system.

Remember that?  Any phone for you, as long as it was one of ours, magically installed by trained technicians that had no idea their job was dead when we invented wireless technology.

But I do go on.  

Bell Labs, (a think tank that no known business could currently afford) had the smartest people on earth.  Yes, I know, there were people who walked backwards at Bell Labs central, here in NJ where I was asked to politely eliminate certain "Labs" that we're about as worthless as anything can be, but extroardinately important to self-important smart people who walked backwards.

The more practical were OK sorts.  And, happily for me trying to run a business, very very smart.  I'm an arrogant, self-important curmudgeon, but I learned a lot from the good ones.

Learning - it's a good thing.
