I'm taking a small vacation from my normal work, and it's been humbling. I'm working with my hands (with guidance thankfully) and am experiencing a daily dose of "this is how you do it..".
Being humbled is a good thing I've decided, as it resets some of the ego we let quietly build up over time until we acknowledge ourselves as an expert in an area and no longer listen to others opinions and thoughts. It's easy to poke holes and argue against what others say only, as we know better. (for reference, see: Internet). It's a different mindset however when the approach we take to any situation is one of learning - of any kind really.
In my normal job, I often quote Seth Goden's little gem - "Learning cannot be forced, it must be chosen" to help other's see what they are in for. It's ironic that I had to back into that one myself to see its truth clearly.
