Always be willing to learn

No matter how old you are, you can always learn something from someone. That includes having the humility to learn something from someone younger than us and or less experienced than us. My samurai sword trainer is 63 years old and he's still willing to learn something from me. I'm 29. He really inspires me. I'm striving to be like that. My best friend is 5 years younger than me and she's taught me so much. It can be difficult at times to learn from someone younger than us because our ego will want to get in the way. It takes strength and humility. We all have different experiences and we can all learn from each other if we're willing to be open to it. Bruce Lee once said "Empty your tea cup and I'll let you have a drink out of mine".
