TweetI feel that we always need to remain "open' to others suggestions and don't ever get the feeling of " I know it all". Not saying this is how you feel . There are always new things coming out daily and there may be something we do not know. Be open, listen, take it in and see if something new works for you. Everyday is a day to learn something new in life. It may be big or it may be small, it may not even be something we can apply to ourselves but something that might help another. that's my philosophy!

TweetI get this way especially when it's something I think I'm good at. I have learned a lot of "life lessons" the hard way so I am much more open to help and giving help then I used to be but I still get a bit full of myself. Good post Zoot.

Tweeti am all about learning some new stuff man. i will take any tweak on rehab recovery and pretty much the whole 9 yards. i just went through something similar when i tweaked my knee. i got this 80lb chick for a therapist and i figured here we go. i am going to hear the dont squat dont do this blah blah blah. nope, she moved me around a bit, gave me some brutal rehab and prehab stuff and breaks me off a couple times a wk. i have figured out that i can take things from pretty much anyone haha

Tweetmy first instinct when someone asks for or offers help is usually to brush them off, but my second instinct is to help and accept help. i'm still working on doing the 2nd instinct more than the first.

TweetI dont have a problem trying something new and listening to someone. I just hate when someone asks for my help then doesnt want to listen to what I have to say, they should have just not asked.

Tweettake the advice. if it makes the quality of your life better than awesome if not, small loss

lol, I hear ya that is my life in a nutshell. I have learned to just not put a whole lot into advising anymore and if I do, I go about it in a different way. the best is when people have asked for advice form me only to hear years later "did you know what this or that does?". when "that' was exactly what I said to them in the first place, lol.

Tweetgood job zoot for what you did.. I for one always am open to learn new things in and out of the gym.. you never know what you might learn..

the people who have the know it all attuide don't know as much as they think they do...
