"Be a student. Stay open and willing..." - Quote by Wayne Dyer
Be a student. Stay open and willing to learn from everyone and anyone. Being a student means you have room for new input. When you are green you grow, when you are ripe you rot. By staying green you will avoid the curse of being an expert. When you know in your heart that every single person you encounter in your lifetime has something to teach you, you are able to utilize their offerings in a profound way.

More on Learning
“Regrets are illuminations come too late.”
“I often visited a particular plant four or five miles distant, half a dozen times within a fortnight, that I might know exactly when it opened.”
“There are three sorts of pleasures which are advantageous, and three which are injurious. Finding pleasure in the discriminating study of ceremonies and music, finding pleasure in discussing the good points in the conduct of others, and finding pleasure in having many wise friends, these are advantageous. But finding pleasure in profligate enjoyments, finding pleasure in idle gadding about, and finding pleasure in feasting, these are injurious.”
More on Growth
“Nobody knows what's in him until he tries to pull it out. If there's nothing, or very little, the shock can kill a man.”
“Mystery and disappointment are not absolutely indispensable to the growth of love, but they are, very often, its powerful auxiliaries.”
“I'm convinced that some of our greatest and most influential teachers show up in our lives disguised as people we resent or even despise.”
