"The believer never gets tired of goodness.
Someone asked Imam Shafi', "How do you have impeccable character?" He replied, "I always listen to my detractors and take to heart what they said and then work to remove their criticisms. I took everyone I ever met as a teacher. Either he was better than me and I learned things to improve myself or he was worse than me and I learned things to avoid." (Paraphrased)
So everyone can teach you something."
From "A Path to God"
