Overview
You are in charge of teaching yourself new things, and should be prepared to seize a learning opportunity when you see it. When you encounter an unfamiliar situation today, don't freak out. Instead, mine the episode for insight that can enrich your life. Ask a lot of questions to orient yourself and figure out how to proceed. Don't take a simple 'yes' or 'no' for an answer -- make sure you are clear about what is going on and about what needs to happen. You are empowering yourself.
