Wisdom Never Grows Old

Here's a great quote found over at American Thinker:
If the authority to which he is subject resides in the body corporate, the college, or university, of which he himself is a member, and in which the greater part of the other members are, like himself, persons who either are, or ought to be, teachers; they are likely to make a common cause, to be all very indulgent to one another, and every man to consent that his neighbor may neglect his duty, provided he himself is allowed to neglect his own.
It was written by the father of supply/demand, the envisioner of the "Invisible Hand" of the free market, Adam Smith in 1776!

Read the commentary here: 


Long ago in the USAF flying business a wise leader once told me to always track my instructor time and my operational time. He noted that when your instructor time exceeds your actual doing time significantly you are no longer teaching anyone anything. 

Words to consider.
