Be a beginner - A beginner got not much knowledge on the thing he is starting to do, he will learn along the way. You might be in the same routine all the while, why not, discard the usual way, and start with an attitude to learn something new? There's a saying you can't pour more tea into a filled cup. We are always learning and adapting to our surroundings and changing. In order to excel, we have to cast away the old ones to allow the new ones in. We always assume the things are done in a certain manner and sometimes the "old skool" method, might not apply or maybe should be improvised to save time and effort.
When we humble, people are more open to share and teach.
A child can learn and remember many languages at the age of 1-7. Do guide them and allow them to explore, your brought up might not be the best for the new generation. Education is important, so is leisure and play, get the right balance.
As we age there is so much information that we think we know everything but we don't, we are learning every day, as the things are changing rapidly. Have an open heart face the future.
