I have been working as a Network Instructor for more than 2 years now.
And for those of you who work in the Hi-Tech field, you know how fast this business grows.
You know you have to have the latest skills.
You have to know the latest softwares and applications.
You have to have the latest tweak on your system,
the latest patch, the newest programs.
You know you always have to know more.
Just because I teach this, does not make me better than anybody else.
It does not make me superior to all the students.
Yesterday, a student of mine came up to me and asked me for help.
It was about a topic that I am not very fond of myself.
So we talked about it and we tried to go step by step.
He figured it out, and showed me other ways of solving it too.
By the end of our conversation, I think I learned more from him than him from me.
To me, the real knowledge in this business is how you figure things out.
Not taking advantage of anyone around you, or not taking advantage of the system.
And when you do know the answers, and when you know you have more knowledge.
Keep it cool. No tooting of horns necessary.
You never know, you may learn something from them too.
If two people share answers, they may be both wrong.
But if two people share ideas, then they will be both right.
I have no idea what I just said.
