LEARN TO LIVE
Charlie Hough says, "Listen to everyone. Learn from everyone.
Nobody knows everything but everyone knows something."
At her citizenship hearing in 1967, Immaculata Cuomo (mother of
Mario Cuomo) was asked by the judge how many stars were on the US
flag. She said she didn't know, but could she ask the judge a
question? After he agreed, she asked him how many hands of
bananas were on a stalk. He admitted he didn't know, so she
proudly said, "Well, I do." Her citizenship was granted. Here was
a judge who wisely realized that everyone has something to teach.
"Live to learn and you will learn to live," says a Portuguese
proverb. For life cannot be lived well in ignorance. In fact,
those who live life to the fullest have a PhD in living! This is

what a PhD in living means:
P is for "poor in knowledge." Those who live best realize that

they can never learn enough.
H is for "hungry to learn." Those who hunger for knowledge will
always find plenty to eat.
D is for "desire to succeed." Those who desire to learn and
improve, and those who persist in spite of obstacles, will live
fully.
Realize you're poor in knowledge, become hungry to learn and
desire to succeed. Everybody and every occasion can become your
teacher, and this is the PhD that will open the door of success.
