When I am sure I don't know something, I'm not afraid to ask about it. Questions=learning. I got through a very difficult course in graduate school because I was not afraid to ask questions - questions that I believe most people had but did not ask.
But, oh, how when I think I know something, I think I know it. My hackles go up if anyone tries to give me advice or correct me. Or, I just shut them off before they can even speak. "I don't want to do this around me because you're going to say it's wrong."
I so need to get over that. For example, I don't know how to spray paint well. We painted the bathroom cabinet white to cover up the weird colors. I did the drawer faces. Kinda looked ok in the garage, but in the bathroom you could see that it was uneven and some of the old color was showing through. Sigh. I gotta learn that I need to learn...

I think the hardest thing to work on is our selves. I have my quirks... and I know when I am doing them that I am and need to stop. Its hard.
NoR...Learning is VERY important. I like to ask questions too, so here goes one...what's up with the Pebbles doll? Oh so cute! :-)
Wow, I am right there with you. I so want to think that I know what I am doing that it is kind of embarrassing.
I'm like that too...Only not with house fixer-upper stuff. I have no idea what the hell I'm doing. I've been lucky for the most part, but my place doesn't look exactly polished either. As long as it works for me, I suppose.
Stupid spray paint....always looks okay in limited light. And then you move it to a brighter place-- Stupid spray paint.
I say celebrate that there's no runs that you have to sand off and do over. That'd be more painful than another coat.
;-)
I'm trying to unlearn ;)
I think self-improvement, well, I guess more identifying ourselves and the things we need to try and change or work on is important. Hard to do, but hey, it's possible.
