Like having a younger friend that asks you lots of questions, and you enjoy giving him all the answers you can. Or, for that matter, answering questions on Yahoo!

Some of us shy from showing others; why? I believe it is a combo of fear, jealousy,and pride. The fear of not quite knowing all you should have known. The envy of the other person that you perceive to be sharper, smarter, younger. The pride that allows people to admire your past accomplishments, with the rider of you being too lazy to stay on the cutting edge. This happens frequently in the scientific community. Thank God for the other persons that teach by setting examples, achieving goals and setting benchmarks. The self appointed expert teaches nothing but to be as he. People that do their best with what they have, win more people to their side and salvation than any preaching can. They are the ones to watch and learn from.

How else would you pass it on? If someone already knows the answer, then why would you tell or inform them again? Generally, if someone is asking you a question, its because they dont know the answer themselves or would just like to get various opinions, therefore, we are giving or "teaching" information.
