When I was learning I always had people I'd idolized like
@avdi,@russolsen,@sandimetz, and@sarahmei among others. Still do, quite frankly. What was humbling was when people did the same to me, and saying I was an expert of sorts.2 replies 0 retweets 5 likes -

Now I'm no expert, I am and always will be a student. There are many more who know far more than I do, and there always will be. ...and that's the best part of it. There's no end to that path, and a grand journey ahead no matter how far you've gone.

I do find some comfort in knowing that there is no end to the path. There is always more you can learn.

So many stories and lessons, knowledge and wisdom from anywhere one could imagine as long as you're willing to listen. While I may be gifted in one field I may be a novice in another, and that's both terrifying and exciting at the same time.
