Old guy at the Boise market showed me a better way to sharpen my boning knife

I was working a stall at the Saturday farmers market last fall and this retired butcher named Frank stopped by. He watched me struggle for a minute, then said, 'Kid, you're using too much angle. Drop your wrist and use the stone like you're shaving it, not grinding it.' He took my knife and showed me on my own 1000-grit stone, and the edge was way better in half the time. Anyone else get a game-changing tip from an old-timer in a random spot?

Honestly, that's cool and all, but it's just a knife sharpening tip. Not exactly life changing advice.

What makes something life changing to you then?
