Formal degrees and education are important, yes, and I am proud of mine, but continuing to learn and challenge oneself is the hallmark of a truly intelligent person.<br /><br />Best example?

Never graduated high school, but he's the smartest person I know. Never stops reading and learning, even though he's never made it formal.<br /><br />He too, pushed my brother and I to get educated and do better.
