By not paying attention and jumping straight to “I know” I bypassed actually knowing something. I am working towards being that old man who sits on the front porch and observes life around him. And I’ll be ready to impart what I’ve learned as the opportunity arises. Not the grumpy old man type who yells at whoever walks on my lawn, but the cool old man that doesn’t complain about everything and who you share a cold beer with, asking to tell you some things he has learned in life.
