Exactly. That is to say, one must be willing to listen, and to be educated.
I've been in a position of expertise in a few different fields, but one thing is constant: if people don't want to listen to you, they won't.
Or as I was saying to someone the other day, the benefits of experience are often undervalued by those who don't have it.
