Basically Lurking but Hello to all

Bob, Back in grade school when I was barely making a passing grade I thought "Dang I'm stupid" . My Dad asked me ..."Son..Do you know where the Library at school is ?" I said yes. He then asked me " Do you know how to read?" Yes. " Do you know how to use the card catalog in the library?" Yes. "Are you a good enough person to ask others for advice and instruction?" Yes Dad. He then finished with "Son...You are just as smart as the smartest person in the world if you know where and how to find the information you need to know. And be a good enough person that people with knowledge will share it with you." The End. I'm 50 now and this still rings true daily.
