If there's one thing I've learned is that there's always going to be someone better. I know that while I picked up my trade quick and I do it well, I'm not a prodigy, and it's fruitless to compare to that minute percentage of people that are. I take it as a different method of thinking to learn from, to see the way that they see, and use it to improve skills.

You know what the one thing the youngsters don't have that you do? Experience. An experienced person knows what will bite them in the ass because they've been there, so you've got that going for you, which is nice.
