Get a grip of it, I was an instructor at GFS in the past and they teach exactly what your second quote is saying.
Where does the attitude come from?? Yours instructors, co-workers, managers, CFI???
Don't you love PPRUNE, everyone is a hero behind their Login name, most probably 200TT heroes who think they know everything! Think outside the square and maybe you can learn from others and hopefully they can learn from you.
