I've noticed that every time I hit a plateau in my learning efforts,
where it seems I've hit a new level of understanding, I also learn just
how much I don't know. In this field, to stop learning is to retire.

I hope no one interpreted my prediction that eventually a line will be
drawn at a certain CCIE number to indicate that it's currently
happening. If other people out there are doing it, then I won't be
surprised... but I haven't encountered it myself.
