I am of the mind set that you should never stop trying to learn something no matter what you are seeking. You can learn from books, videos, other people (young & old) but especially from trial and error. That holds true to all different things in life including fishing. Like you said you've tried to teach people what to do but they either don't care or are not listening. I look at it to pay attention and pick their brain and try to learn as much as you can from them. They've already gained knowledge from experience of what works and what doesn't. And their knowlege comes from years and years of trial and error.
I don't have to catch anything to make it a good trip. I just like getting out, catching something is just the icing on the cake. In my younger years (I'm now 71) I was of the mind set that quantity was better than quality. Not anymore, just getting the line wet is more enjoyable but catching is nice too. Although I do fish alone I'd rather share the outing with family or friends because that always makes the trip more enjoyable.
