everyone can teach you something

[Guest guest]

Listen to all, plucking a feather from every passing goose, but follow

no one absolutely.

- Chinese proverb

Everyone can teach you something

Possible mentors and teachers can be found everywhere and

anywhere. Everyone you've met today has something they could teach

you--a skill, a bit of wisdom, or a personal secret to success. All

you have to do is look for it and ask plenty of questions. Most of

all, respect the fact that each person has something of value to

offer. If you can't find one " feather " to pluck from someone, you're

not looking hard enough. Yet, in the end, you still have to think for

yourself. It's still your job to take the knowledge you gain and turn

it into your own value system for solid decision-making. It's still

up to you to use your skills to carve a unique path in the world. So

when night comes, those feathers can make a nice soft pillow that lets

you rest your head in peace.
