I have a close, long time friend who will always give me a completely honest answer from the heart. I don't always agree with the advice but will not discard it because I believe it is well thought out and therefore, probably correct.

Aw come on....tell us who? :)

I’ve read that book, even manage to keep a copy around. Didn’t do Machiavelli much good though. Good read……..

Experience can round out a teacher very nicely. A respected teacher is openly confident and respectful of others. Listens and asks questions without blunt demanding responces that would tend to alienate students. The objective of a teacher should be to inspire students to learn how to find answers to their questions rather than just answering the question as we do so much here. Of course we would then be answering questions by instructing others how to find the answers on their own rather than providing answers. As a choice, I found simply blurting out an answer does fill a needed place. Not everyone needs to know every detail about why a cup of water is called for in a recipe or the theory of electrical engineering to change a light-bulb. 

I trust the advice given me in mind compared to my own best guess.

I usually don't accept anyone advice until I get there or " I will cross that brig when I get there" unless someone else has a better solution to the problem. And if that don't solve the problem, Then I know Jesus will give me the answer when you ask Him, never fail for me.
