How often do we dismiss people, ideas, opinions just because we think we know better or we know it all ?
Do we really know it all?
Will we ever know it all?
Even if we think we know lot more than the people,ideas,opinions we are interacting with , it helps to be open to learning or being open to the idea that we might be wrong, or that we might be able to learn more from someone, from anyone we are interacting with.
This attitude also gives us an oppurtunity to be humble and always keeps us in a growth mode.
Sometimes the best lessons we learn are from sources which we least expect to learn anything from. For example questions of kids, behaviour of certain animals, the way things happen in nature, acts from total strangers. Most of the times such events or opportunities emerge spontaneously. If we have cultivated habit of being open and receptive we can learn tremendously from such everyday life situations. Such learning not only helps us grow as a person but is also fulfilling in its own way.
