There's a proverb that says, for every 3 people walking there's someone who can be your teacher.

[imron]

This proverb is an actual ‘Confucius said’

The concentration can vary though. There are places I’ve been where everyone could teach me a lot, and then there are the other places.

Often, I find those other places teach me a lot, but not intentionally. Seeing someone's mistakes is easier for me to learn from than explicit messages. Less survival bias, too.

I didn't feel this way when I was younger. YMMV.
