Put it this way: I'd rather have a beer with a plumber who's done his trade for 20 years and talk to him about that than with someone who knows a lot of stuff but has never really done or accomplished anything.

i completely disagree with this sentiment,anyone else?

Just as a tangent, this is great way to learn about things you never would. More often, it also sticks better. So I would rather talk to a plumber for 3 hours about his trade than read a book on plumbing. I do this with everything from the meatheads at the gym to the car nuts...everyone can offer you something (or at least, almost everyone) you just find out what they are passionate about/know a lot about and let them talk...I'm not saying this replaces books, but it's a nice supplement and sometimes helps me better remember things that I would normally read and forget
