Once I read a quote from someone, that you are on the good path when you know, your knowledge is far from perfect :) Yeah, great to discover the faults and take care of them next time ;) There is a Japanese word, kaizen - meaning lifetime learning, developing your skills continuously  It is pretty worthy to remember of it - improves my patience as well :D
