Asking the Right People the Wrong Questions

I've been struggling with an Abaqus problem recently and I asked one of the true experts of the field a question directed to what I thought the problem might be. He then answered my question with the answer to the question that I should be asking. I was totally looking in the wrong place.

I've said many times that I surround myself with great people and just draw off of them. This is another example where someone was able to answer my question, even though I wasn't really asking it. For someone that really knows their stuff it doesn't take much for him or her to understand your problem.

Find the right people in your life.
