One of grandpa's old cowboys was rambling on to me and I did not have a clue what he was saying. So I just kept saying "yes sir" when he stopped talking. Finally he walked off and my grandpa came over. My grandpa told me that the old cowboy was a hard worker but did not have a lick of sense. Then he thanked me for treating the old cowboy with respect. To me I do my best to not be rude even if they don't make sense. Just the other day I was getting way outdated advice but I listened anyway and I actually learned something. Wisdom is not the same as smart. You can get smart by reading books and stuff but wisdom takes time and experience. There is no fast wisdom. I can listen and get smart but wisdom comes with knots on the head and just plain hurts sometimes.
very well said
x2...treat others like you want or expect to be treated.
