RE: Teaching/helping without being arrogant?
Let me add a little something here just to make sure I am not misunderstood. I believe that no two peoples knowledge base completely overlap each other. Meaning, that Iknow some things they do not know, and they know somethings I do not know. Any person who believes they cannot learn SOMETHING from any other individual (even if it is what not to do), is full of crap. If we are both open minded, we can talk to one another and each come out of the discussion with new knowledge. The person who is not willing to listen to anyone else is merely shortchanging themselves, and I am not in the business of trying to force my knowledge on anyone. If they want to rip themselves off, then so be it. I will listen to them, take what knowledge I need, test it for validity, and be on my way. If their lack of knowledge influences me directly, then I may work attheproblemharder than I would otherwise, or I may just remove myself from that situation where I do not have to deal with them. Conflict is generally counterproductive, so I usually avoid it.
