(senior == i’m old enough to know that i’m never going to be the best, and that sharing knowledge and a bond with a person is far more lasting than a piece of work)

True dat. (Aside: I had the pleasure of having lunch w/ Hugh a couple months back… nice guy.)

SO very true. I’m not sure where I am on this continuum now though. I know I LOVE to talk with others about ideas, give input or help or advice. I guess I’m not “young”, so I suppose I’m a senior … Poop.

Agreed, though I think there’s a whole other article for So Serious relating just to this concept.

This reminds me a lot of your one (and only) post from So Serious about the influence of proximity. I guess I see this quote as nicely augmenting that idea.

Very true. I’ve been helped by many. You get what you give, I suppose.

I've watched this play out a lot in the places I've worked over the past six years, particularly in my stint at TM Advertising. Seek put, pursue, and build relationships with like-minded people. The value well outweighs the risk.
