It does make sense.
I think it takes a confident person to realize they should always be striving to learn from those who are the best in their field.
I was listening to "Finding Flow" while in the garden today and it was talking about how the people who enjoy themselves the most, are those who are learning, pushing, adding to their world. The least happy, are those who passively consume.
I agree with that!! On days when pain wins over, and my brain is slow, life gets frustrating, but I found that even if I learn a new game or try new art supplies, it helps me have a happier mood and, hence, a happier life.
You do not have to cure cancer, but moving forward in anything helps my mood and is much better than standing still and feeling like the world is passing you by.
