My dad is pretty old school and I'm constantly amazed at the things he teaches me, and the way he thinks about them. I find that we often think about, and go about, tasks or problems is a dissimilar manner. He grew up building things and working with his hands, I grew up doing mathematics and programming. Probably where the difference comes from. I also learn quite a bit from my boss, who is an old rodeo cowboy. Very old school in his ways, but has an expansive knowledge of horses.
