Did you ever hear that?

It is amazing that you would have known if you would have chosen to listen. You can't learn from those around you if you never spend time with them. You could learn valuable information that would help you or someone you know if you took the time to listen. I just spent more time and learned so much from the cable company employee than I have with people I know. I was calling to complain about the cable being out. During that call it turned into a very informative conversation that I will always remember. I have to say it was unexpected but life is like that sometimes. It seems so easy to pass on what you have learned in life but how can you if no one cares to take the time to listen. If you would stop long enough to listen you would benefit from it. Perhaps you could visit an old relative and see what you could learn in a few minutes if you listened. Maybe schools could make it a yearly assignment to have kids sit down and talk to a older person they know and give a report on what they learned. They may not learn something helpful later in their life but they will learn how much fun it is to just sit and have small talk. No one just sits and talks anymore. They have to be entertained by their electronic devices.
