This quote has already been posted on the forum I do believe but is worth another posting

"When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years".

-Mark Twain

Some of the greatest philosophers in history like Confucius, Socrates and Ben Franklin made statements to the affect that a truly wise person is not wise because of how much he knows, but because of how much he realizes he doesn’t know.
Or as I have told myself for some time, the older I get the more I find I don’t know. help
By those definitions there are not too very many wise people in our civilization, as almost everyone I know claims to know everything!
At any rate, whether in people, entertainment or in product quality, there does seem to be a race to the bottom happening that accelerates every year.



as to the mark twain quote, he is spot on !
as the older we got, i realized the old man was way smarter than i gave him credit for !
as he was so fond of saying when i would be driving a nail, miss and hit my thumb, thereby creating "new words" : "huh ! i didn't feel a thing !" biggrin
beer
laugh So true. They taught us well! One of my dad's favorite things to say to us kids when we weren't doing enough around the house; "This isn't a Hotel you know"!
