When I read this line I immediately thought of my high school days when my dad asked me 50 questions before I went to “spend the night” at a friend’s house. The day he stopped asking questions was the day I got away with everything. Serves as a good metaphor for good advice.

Great line.

I often get teased by family, friends and co-workers because I typically have teh answer to almost every question asked of me on a host of subjects and matters. Often I just burst out with the response, which tends to be the correct answer every time. The response are either common-sensical or factual or a bit of both. I am and remain to act like an ever growing sponge (akin to those dinosaurs you would put in a glass of water to watch them expand) and when able to like to “squeeze a bit out” and share knowledge with those around me. I tell man of the future leaders of this world that I engage that they should always seek ways to “learn to fish and teach others, too, how to fish.” Also, I encourage them and all to be versed in a multitude of subjects or look to learn more so as to be better providers to conversations.
I once dated adn had a number of friends that were Labor&Delivery nurses. During dinners and lunches or other times of social interaction they would eventually talk about their work. To be able to at least have an inkling of an idea of what they were talking about I took an online birthing course (and am now “certified” by the Navy to deliver a baby in an emergency situation). It paid off a bit so that i wasn’t just a body there but could understand and engage in the conversation and help me to ask better formulated and deeper questions about their work and to be included in the group. Not all may want to go that far, but it was my quest for understanding that drove me, and not my urge to impress.
