Why be ashamed of taking advantage of learning opportunities?

Do you think modern day math geniuses feel any less skilled, because they learned calculus from a book rather than discovering it for themselves? No one learns in a vacuum.

Be as good as you can be, but don't make it harder than it has to be. You will get to a level that's tough as heck eventually, and have to learn more than what is in a book. If you don't, please send me some $$$$.
