Re: Training and Learning

Hi Tyler, long time no see!

I agree with almost everything you said. Up to a certain point, I agree that you should 'be your own sensei' - especially about not waiting around hoping to be spoon fed. I would only add the caveat that if you are not the actual sensei somewhere you have to remember that everyone is expecting you to be a participating student of what the person in the actual role of sensei is teaching. I think we've both see that get ugly.

Nice to see you posting here! Your friend, Rob
