"I have four kinds of days:
(1) A day when I go out and meet someone more knowledgeable than me, so I learn from him, and that is the day of my benefit and profit.
(2) A day when I go out and meet someone less knowledgeable than me, so I teach him, and that is the day of my reward.
(3) A day when I go out and meet someone like me, and I study and review with him, and that is the day of my lesson.
(4) A day when I go out and meet someone below my level, but he sees himself as being above my level, so I don't talk to him, and I make that the day for my rest."
- Al-Khaleel ibn Ahmad (Jaami'u Bayaan Al-'Ilm #878)
