Are you teachable..


Wisdom isn't merely knowledge/understanding and applying it. Having an answer or opinion for everything.
True wisdom acknowledges it doesn't always know and is openly teachable. It can say "I don't know".

Yeah.

I get too cranky and set in my ways as I age.

@JoyfulSilence 😁 I get grumpy too. ;-)

Somebody at work asked me to do something today and instead of saying yes I hemmed and hawed until he said do not worry about it.

But inside I was so pissed off. I still have not calmed down.

Lately I have been doing a lot of other people's work for them, and decided enough is enough. Also, he was asking me to sub for a coworker and give his presentation at a conference. Yet I do not know the topic, would have only two days to prepare, and do not even know the coworker well. I was terrified.

@JoyfulSilence Aw, well people tend to take advantage of willing helpful people. I'm glad you didn't do it.

One complication is I am in the middle of applying for a new position where I would work for him. He is my boss' boss. I hope I haven't scuttled it.
