Today, a teacher I respect rightfully challenged my approach to a class that I was particularly skilled (computer graphics, photoshop) and I realized that although I have a lot of skills and talents, it's unfair to not allow others to develop the skill simply because I had already developed it. Even with that blow to my "knowledge" (Which, I feel in my environment is greater than others but in comparison to the world, nothing) atleast he gave me the compliment of discerning his seriousness about the subject. (He is one of the most sarcastic people on the planet. Seriously) I'm appreciative of him pointing this out because now I know to be less of an ******* in class, and even though I'm fully aware of it and know I'm doing it and I'm not doing it as an ego boost or to put others down, i can be perceived as insensitive and such. Woohoo.
