Motivational Quote - Listen to all, plucking a feather from every passing goose, but follow no one absolutely.
SparkPeople Translation
Possible mentors and teachers can be found everywhere and anywhere. Everyone you’ve met today has something they could teach you – a skill, a bit of wisdom, or a personal secret to success. All you have to do is look for it and ask plenty of questions. Most of all, respect the fact that each person has something of value to offer. If you can’t find one “feather to pluck” from someone, you’re not looking hard enough. In the end, though, you still have to think for yourself. It’s still your job to take the knowledge you gain and turn it into your own value system for solid decision-making. It’s still up to you to use your skills to carve a unique path in the world. So when night comes, those feathers can make a nice soft pillow that lets you rest your head in peace.
