Couple of thousand years ago, a pretty smart Jewish fella said that the meek will inherit the Earth. Seems like a pretty crazy statement on its face. Try as I might, I can’t imagine a meek little Wally Cox conquering every government on the planet.
So I figure the rabbi probably meant something closer to, "Be humble enough to learn and you’ll go far."
Or the corollary: "Be too proud to learn, and you'll wind up eating humble people's dust."
Or maybe, "The more you learn, the more you'll learn you need to learn."
Or even, "Learning is a journey – not a destination."
Was he right?
In a word, "Yep."
I've been meaning to say that myself.
