Learning from others

When I was a kid I used to always think that I would like to experience everything myself rather than rely on others experience. As I have grown to learn my limitations I have come to realize the importance of learning from others. And more importantly I realize the importance of sharing what I learn. That is what builds knowledge that helps us become more knowledgeable as a species.
If I look at what I know today I think less than 1% is what I learnt from my experience. Rest is what I learnt from others.
