I find that sometimes, the best wisdom and knowledge in live are obtained thru word of mouth. Best of all, many of them come unintentionally. All because we are willing to open our mouth to chat/talk. These already-walked-path-info are usually better than those you could ever find in books or manuals. Simply because it is their tried and true experience, and it applies better.
Am thankful for all these unintentional awakening.
