Submitted by chris.stineman on Fri, 06/19/2009 - 11:58Growing up I remember references my dad made to the pitfalls of becoming a know-it-all professionally. He was forced to reinvented himself a few times in order to adapt to changing faces of the industries within which he worked - agriculture, real estate, insurance.
He always managed to come out on top and one of the reasons why is because he was always open to learning – learning a new skill set, a new industry, a new approach.
