To the professionals I want to say: "If you want to allow them to do it to you then it's your own fault. However, don't let somebody suffocate in their own blood. Sometimes they just need that extra little push to get going". I had a teacher that one day told me: "When you're an adult, never forget that you were also a child once." Let us not forget that we were newbies once.
Both good points, and in those cases I encourage people to come talk to me. I like it when people do their research and come talk to me about what they found. I think it shows that a) they are willing to learn b) they dont' mind asking for help. I don't even have problem with someone coming to ask for guidelines on where he should be looking, I like to say "I'll show you the path to the door bud, but you got to walk through it". What I was saying my eailer post was the type I don't like is do my work for me, because I am too busy to figure something new out. Or the other extreem (which is what I run into), I did my research I know what I am doing (enough to be dangerous), I'll just request a change like that. So when I tell them no, with my reasoning, most people are not happy.
Thats all, and I agree with your comments 100% Specially the "When you're ...", when I am in my Kendo (Japanese Martial art) I have to tell myself that all the time. Because some things come to me easier then they do other in class, but I been doing it for seven years :P.
Thanks Manie :).
