Hi Guys ,
I normally like to avoid such discussions but i think Selflessness is the way to go.You might not like what i am writing 'please forgive me'.I'm not attacking anyone.
Why would you like to know something and keep it to yourself.Why not share ? It will make you understand more by teaching and mentoring.You will have a lower tendency of forgetting something u have gone over for 5 times.
You can look around for those at work and those in Campuses and colleges.Those who share their knowledge always have an upper hand and by teaching you will learn.
I have been working with consultants for like 2 years now and the guys always know it all.I have done thorough investigation. The guys have a network ....they share what they know and recommend ideas to our companies not because they have done it,but because a friend has.We think they are geniuses but reality there is a network of ever giving experts.That way they all learn.
We can always find information on google but its not as good as being mentored.after all we are not equipment we are people.
So please don't cling on what you know when someone asks for help.
If its advice on how to do something do it freely .If its a software your making sell it.If someone needs consultancy be ready for it. Don't close-in share your knowledge.If you don't use it ,you loose it.
