The best ways to learn

"The best ways to learn are to:
1. Work with others. Share screen sessions and watch how others work—you'll see new approaches to doing things. You may need to swallow your pride and let other people drive, but often you can learn a lot.
2. Read the man pages. Seriously; reading man pages, even on commands you know like the back of your hand, can provide amazing insights. For example, did you know you can do network programming with awk?
3. Solve problems. As the system administrator, you are always solving problems whether they are created by you or by others. This is called experience, and experience makes you better and more efficient."
