Lessons Learned

[cmcallm]

OK, the board looks a little stale - how about a new topic?

After a little thought, if you are so inclined, post the one thing that you learned from a veteran/experienced/"old" umpire that has stayed with you through your years of umping. Might be good, might be bad, might be something that got you out of trouble, might be something that got you IN trouble, might be something that moved you up the ladder, might be something that you've passed on to someone else. There's at least one thing that's worth sharing!

Mine? I have lots, but one that stands out is "You can learn something from everyone you work with - might be something you want to try, or something you want to avoid, but pay attention!"

Who's next?
