  This does not bear thinking about. The ISO-root Committee is now in

  That describes every apprentice I ever knew (including me). It's a
shame he never put in the work to reach the stage where he truly
surpassed his master. If you don't, you end up stuck with an attitude
for the rest of your life: always "proving" how everyone else but you
is wrong.

  A true Master knows *everyone* is wrong, one way or another. Only
the kids think they are exempt.
