This is one of the many times in my life where I'm thankful for my education. The ability to spell correctly and without resorting to using 'mobile' or 'txt' speak is one I'm particularly grateful for.
I might not have been thankful at the time, but studying at the local Grammar School evidently served me better than I realised. This is especially true of my A-Level qualifications; without them I wouldn't have been able to read a university degree. I gained an understanding of why things happen, such as why an airtight plastic bottle will collapse on itself when put in the fridge. Perhaps not the best example to show for studying two years of A-Level Physics but easier than working out the latent heat of fusion.
It is unlikely that I will ever stop learning or being a student. There is still much in this world that I don't know and probably will never know. As with so much in life, there will always be someone who knows more about a subject than you could possibly imagine. If anyone is unsure about that, just think about a martial arts discipline. Just because someone is younger than you, it doesn't mean they don't deserve your respect.
Nothing worth doing in life is ever easy.
