The following was posted by one of the admin on a photography group I'm in. I think it's relevant to all things we do in life, and with the New Year fast approaching we could all reflect on how much we've shared with our fellow woodworkers.
Everybody embarking on a quest to learn photography either via a school, course or on their own, progresses through the same stages of learning.
Beginning with a state of 'unconscious incompetence', where we do not know about the thing we are about to learn.
After some study or tuition or some time of learning we progress to a place of being 'consciously incompetent', this is where we become aware of the things we don't know about.
The next stage of our learning journey takes us to 'consciously competent', where we have learned some things and in order to make them happen we still need to think about the steps.
Following this is a state of 'unconscious competence' where the things we have learned become automatic, where we know enough to be able to do things without first having to think about how to make them happen.
When you look back on the path that lead you to the place where you are, with the knowledge you now have and you see somebody else doing it differently or making a mistake and you choose to belittle them, just remember, the learning journey also applies to being a kind, decent, socially aware and honorable person, and they may be further along that particular path than you are.
She finished off with this gem:
Knowledge is power, the more you give it away the more powerful we become.

Everything to do with woodwork, and life.
