So many times people let their pride stand in the way of bettering themselves. Dudes are worse about this than chicks for whatever reason. We dudes seem to have the impression that we can shoot like Chris Costa and fight like a young Mike Tyson even if we can't hit a barn from the inside or beat up a 12 year old yellow belt Taekwondo student.
My point is that we need to objectively assess our own skills to find the strengths and shortages. We then need to seek out qualified people (paid or not) to help work on those shortages. Sucking it up and taking a couple classes or spending some afternoons with a friend learning can do a world of good. Not fun to admit not knowing something but the short term sucking it up to fix the problem beats a whole life of continuing to know know the thing.

The only things that get in the way of bettering myself are lack of time and lack of resources. I only get so much of either.
There's a place for pride, but the scoreboard never lies, and some scoreboards are all too final.
