Re: never stopping to learn, when I was meeting people at my local flying club, the 89-year old Chief Flight Instructor Emeritus welcomed me and showed me around. We were chatting about flying, and the man's been flying for literally 70 years starting when he was 17 for agriculture. He said he felt it was a great thing to spend a life doing and kept referring to himself as being "still a student".
He was unfortunately killed in a car accident a few months later, but his humility left an impact on me.
