Learn something new everyday

It amazes me how many more interesting things one can learn just by talking to someone else. It doesn't have to be useful, but as long as it's new, it's good exercise for the brain. It's either I have shut myself in my own world for too long, or there's just too many things that can be learned out there. Some knowledge are gained even when we don't realize it. Ok, I think everyone would know it as "gossip" but then, the gossips are so much more entertaining than typical news you get from the newspapers. Not the tabloid kind of stuffs, just hearsay from people that heard it from someone else. You may never know what you might have not heard.

"A wise man is he who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has."
