If you stop learning, you have effectively died. The world changes all the time - sometimes in small ways, sometimes in massive shifts. If you don't learn, then you don't deal with anything new, and you really are missing out.

Teaching is difficult - it's a lot harder than learning, because you have to forget what you know and try to understand it from the level of the student. And it surprises me every time how much you can learn from teaching about the subject you already know pretty well. That is probably what keeps me going, answering QA questions - sometimes you get a gem, that makes you think "Ah! OMG | :OMG: ". And sometimes you get to see that lightbulb light up over someones head (very slowly these days, it's energy saving) and that makes the last 20 rude arrogant idiots who want you to do their homework for them all worthwhile...
