as we get older, we realize just what we still need to learn to find life's answers when, but in our teens and 20's, we once knew it all?

I'm not young enough to know everything.

Perhaps the answer is experience and wisdom. Maybe a touch of humility. Either way, I'm grateful that the know-it-all stage usually has an end.

When I was 16 I knew that I had all the answers. Now I am 50+ and I am ashamed at how little I've learned.

When we are young the glass is small and easy to fill. But as we get older, the glass gets bigger and the same amount of water just doesn't cut it anymore. I think I heard that in a movie and thought it sounded about right.

I'm 22 and I know for a fact that I still have a lot to learn, and I still will until my dying day.

We thought we knew it all. When you get older you realise just how little you really did know when you were young.

BRAVO. You hit the nail on the head. It was once the same for me. This is a universal human shortcoming.

Maturity is not gained thru the aging process alone.

Who was it who said... the more I learn, the more I realize I don't know...?
That, and "ignorance is bliss."
Those might apply.
