As I age I find myself both smarter and dumber in many ways. Many years ago when I got my Masters I was very puffed up with myself because I was told that they were going to use this 100+ page thesis of mine in the library as a reference for other students. I was filled with my own worth and perfection until I went to look at it in its published form in the library and saw that I had written CONCLISION instead of Conclusion at the end. I was so mortified!! There was no way to get it off the shelf at that point. It just proved my humanity to me and taught me some humility. I learned not to judge, lest I be judged. A very good lesson for me.
