Observation:

Every Guru whose wisdom we seek out tends to have these qualities:

1. They work really hard.

2. They never stop learning how to improve their craft. Including the 101 level fundamentals.

I stopped into the greenroom earlier today at the Gurus of Tech Conference to refill my coffee and found a conversation happening between some people that are definitely top names (if I were to type them here would be definitely known) in the field of their discipline. Anyway, I heard them talking about some thoughts they were learning that could definitely be considered "beneath" their expertise level.

The humility I saw displayed was a tremendous encouragement to me.
