Of course I'm better than them. Even if I'm an underachiever like them, at least I realize it and want to change for the better. Also, if someone higher in standing or learning than me gives me some direction, I don't get upset and pissy about it. I realize my own limitations and deficiencies, so what excuses the mutts from having to do the same? To be completely forthright, they should recognize my authority and bow down. But I'd settle for them just taking it nicely when being corrected or getting some direction, instead of getting their underwear in a bunch.
