"Can you imagine what work life would be like if one of the conditions for
promotion was you had to give away everything you knew to people who could
use it for their growth and development, and you had to reach out and help
people to be successful, and you had to demonstrate you were open to being
helped by others in your own pursuits."

Not so much about WP, but it puts its finger on my (previous) situation as a
go teacher.
