Even while typing this, it seems a little odd to be saying this. I mean, isn't it a natural instinct to feel good about knowing something concrete? I used to get a rush whenever I managed to place together bits of information to solve a problem - I even called it my "McGyvver" moments. Nowadays, I get so anxious whenever I pass on information to people. Did I exaggerate anything? Leave out anything? Misrepresented anything? Is the logic even correct? This is where route learning just falls into pieces. It's at times like these that I get tempted to just grab some brightly dyed cloth and head for the hills. It's probably easier being the key to the meaning of life than than a business analyst talking to IT techies.

My manager is a true inspiration. He's probably one of the most patient person I've met. He's got a habit of 'lifelong learning', a concept that my 1st year engineering lecturer kept selling but one that I never really mastered wholeheartedly, despite the obvious benefits. And he transfers knowledge so well - the recipients really trust him as a source. I'm not saying like he's the Nabi Mohd, but it illustrates how important being reliable is. This is probably stating the obvious here, and that's why I started out thinking "How hard can it be?"... Let's just say that "guru" is not a title of reverence for nothing.
