I for one am an advocate of self-teaching. I think there is nothing that we are not capable of, if only we try. This ethos may have led to a small kitchen fire and a collapsed cake or two, but I now know what to do by learning what NOT to do. However, if someone comes along offering you help and instruction, just because they want to share their knowledge, you should whole-heartedly accept.
