Sharing of knowledge is good. However, other people don't like sharing their knowledge. When you ask them about something, they'll just say, "It's for you to find out." Happy myLotting everyone.

Hello my dear Angel, I am thinking that maybe you were not asking the right people or the right questions :) I wouldn't mind sharing my knowledge on most subjects but I will admit that in spirit of avoiding trolls here at mylot I will avoid as possible sharing views on religion and politics (these 2 always have people fighting).

Oh, I was referring to the people I really know in person such as colleagues and acquaintances. Here in myLot, I always appreciate those people who share their thoughts. I don't mind if I get good or bad responses or comments at all. I've learned from my myLot experience these past few months. Thanks for responding and happy mylotting.

Hi, you are right. Some people don't like to share their knowledge. They are boastful for their knowledge. But what is the use of that knowledge which is not shared with others. By sharing knowledge it increases.

Oh, we feel the same way. Yeah, they should be happy sharing what they know. That's one of my purposes in life, sharing what I know to the people who are eager to know what I know. Oh my, my comment has a lot of "know." LOL. Thanks a lot for responding. Happy mylotting!

Yes I have used that saying for knowledge that one should already know or have learned. Also some knowledge needs to be learned first hand, someone giving it to them may not be learned or even actually heard. Some knowledge has to be learned first hand. I know this with my children as they are grown and think they know so much and mom has no brain left. So I do not give answers, I am allowing them to learn as I had to learn since my mother didn't care enough to teach us, we had to do on our own. Maybe in some things in life that is how one should learn. I don't know. I do know I would not treat my parents the way I am now. The changing world changes the way we learn as well...

Yes, maybe some things are learned first hand. Others are demonstrated to us though. I guess there's nothing wrong if they will teach us or if we will learn things by ourselves. If we are really determined then we will learn those eventually with or without help from ether people. Thanks for posting and happy mylotting.

I'm always happy to share my knowledge with people. It is how we grow and evolve. But I do find it difficult to get valuable information from people who seem to be doing so well in the freelance world of graphic design. They don't want to reveal their sources. Come on people...I believe that there is enough to go around for everyone.

Ye, I agree with you. Sharing our knowledge is one of our goals here. It makes us happy and evolve. Imagine if all of us are keeping our knowledge from each other. Does it make any sense? Maybe all of us will try to find out each other's secrets. LOL. Sharing is good. I hope those people who can't share what they know will share them someday. Thanks for posting.

Hahaha. Older wise people don't do that or mostly don't do that co's to them... being asked of things and sharing thoughts or passing their ideas over things is really important to them. I love talking to wise old people co's I learn so much from them. But some people do would let you find it yourself and explain it later when you found it out to see it clearly. I think I am both to the young people I have lead before. It's not easy to be a youth leader but I thank God I was able to do it. Happy mylotting to you as well.

Oh, yeah. I also appreciate our elders who don't hesitate sharing their knowledge. I guess it's up to them if they won't share anyway, sooner or later, we'll also get ideas from others without their help. Thanks for those who are willing to share what they know. They are really kind and considerate to others. Thanks for posting.

This happens in organisations also. some staff members are willing to teach juniors. A few other staff members do not teach others. It is due to possessiveness. the second category people feel that their importance will be lost if they share knowledge with others.

Oh, yes. I agree with you. If they share what they know, they'll think that they are already useless. Those are their pride so they can't stand sharing them to others. Thanks for posting.

Hi friend, yes some people are in this sort, we don't get any benefits by holding our knowledge with in us, if we spread out our knowledge with others by solving their doubts, we will gain satisfaction as well as others will get benefits from our knowledge.

Yes, you're right. We have to share our knowledge. We feel so happy and satisfied when we see other people who have learned from us. Knowledge is power. Let's share what we know. Happy mylotting.

There are some people like that who will know things and will not share it with anyone. I had these kind of people in my class. They were the smart ones and they did not want to share it with anyone. One time I asked one of them to show me how to solve a math problem, and she said she does not know it. But then when In exams it cam she had it all right. I was very annoyed because she did not share her knowledge with me. But what to do with such people, thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

Some people really like competitions. They won't share what they know because they are afraid that we'll be better than them. We can't do anything about them. We need to find someone else who's willing to teach us. Thanks for posting.

I think we should think both side for this saying.Usually we will teach and help somebody and we will feel happy for this,so I think in most instance,people willing to sharing they know,of course if it is a secret,then we should not push people to share with us. But from another point of view,if people always ask someone so many questions and do not willing to figure out by themselves,then I think in this case we should let those people to find out,because we can not always stay with them and tell them everything,that is why teacher always push us to think by ourselves in school days.if we do not use our brain,we will not really learn the knowledge.

I got your point. I guess we should let other people to figure out things by themselves; however, when they are already asking something and they really need to know at that moment I guess we should teach them if we know something about it. I guess there's no limitation in sharing what we know. It would be better to teach people especially newbies, illiterate or slow learners. I'm sure we'll be glad to help them. Thanks for posting.

You are right. There's nothing wrong with sharing our knowledge. We should just share something we know and be happy that we've helped educating others. We should not keep information to ourselves. We should stop being greedy. Life is all about sharing, helping others and being happy. Thanks for posting.
