There are two types of people in the world - educated and uneducated. One is stupid, the other does not know they are stupid.
This is my favorite: the majority of university professors are people who failed in the real world, yet pass on their knowledge as an example of how YOU can succeed.
similar to that one:
Professors of science, biology and chemistry are both teacher and student as they are learning and exploring alongside their students. All other professors are parrots, reciting opinions that have been repeated so many times they are believed to be facts. Shakespeare so elegantly proves “a rose by any other name smells just as sweet”. Yet for all our we know, a rose may have been an onion all along. ~Einstein

Maxim 21: "Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Take his fish away and tell him he's lucky just to be alive, and he'll figure out how to catch another one for you to take tomorrow"

You can give a man a fish he will eat for a day
You can teach a man to fish, but if he does not pay attention, he will starve and you have wasted your time.
If you tell a story by the time it reaches the other side of the room, the story has changed significantly
Stupidity is believing the education system is any different

i was just listening to a podcast this morning where the speaker said the greatest fear should be what we are capable of not what we are weakest at.

i love that whole Steve Jobs speech
Earth is the only known planet in the Universe where you can get attacked by an Angry Beaver.
Why would you be afraid of what you can do? concern yourself more with what you can't do.

It is a reference to “what people are capable of” ie Hitler, Stalin… people are capable of great evils. The quote very correctly states your greatest fear is what you are capable of.
you should never fear what you cannot do. You can over your short comings a lot easier than you can control your own power.
i am quite content with “nothing.” I have learned happiness is a rarity, sadness is too. Most of our lives is filled with the void between the to. When you learn to be content in the void of nothing, you can focus on becoming something great and not worrying about “what makes you happy.”
