Learn, Learn, Learn, Learn, Learn, Stress

My father's been playing with his new phone a lot it's quite funny.
He's learning stuff from it as well.

Then it struck me -
We learn all the time.
By discovering things for ourselves (playing with the phone)
By observing others...
Or by talking to people...

I made a few phone calls this morning to check if a certain book was in stock in the stores.
The people who answered the calls were generally really nice, but most of the time I didn't understand what they were talking about - they speak too fast.
I 'learned' from that - I'll try to speak slowly so that others might understand me.
Observation.

I read all afternoon.
About this confident, strong willed, ambitious woman who got whatever she wanted, mostly through her assertiveness (is that the right form of the word?)
Anyway, she got her money rolling in - and I'd like to learn from her.
Observation.

Oh, and I got the word 'assertive' stuck in my head - because I was talking to my father this evening and he said something about being assertive...
Which means that I 'learnt' the word through talking to my father...
Talking.

Another way of saying that we've learnt from people, is to say that people have taught us.
And if other people have taught us, they have been our teachers.
And if we learn so easily from practically everybody around us, they're all our teachers.
And if we have people around us to learn from, we would be the 'everybody around us' to the people around us (do you follow?).
And that means that the people around us learn from us as well...

Which implies that we ourselves are teachers...
Which means that we'd better watch what we teach others...
Which means that we've got to have what it takes...

BUT
To have what it takes requires us to learn...
From other people...

Damn my logic isn't working out so logically after all, is it...
