Marcus Aurelius is quoted to say: If you want to learn, be willing to be taught.
In today's society, we see less and less of this. Learning isn’t just about gaining information — it’s about cultivating humility. The person who is truly wise doesn’t pretend to have all the answers; they stay open, curious, and ready to be shaped. A teachable heart welcomes correction not as criticism, but as a gift — an invitation to grow. Wisdom doesn’t come to those who shout the loudest, but to those who listen longest.
When we allow ourselves to be taught by others, by experience, and for some by God, we move closer to the kind of wisdom that is peaceful, gentle, and full of understanding.
