What will you willingly endure in order to learn something?

What will you willingly endure so that someone else can learn something? Does it matter whether or not you already know whatever it is?

I think it varies depending on whether you're talking about a skill (e.g. beekeeping) or a piece of factual information ("who killed my father?"), and of course what specifically it is that you're talking about.

What will you willingly endure in order to learn something?

Quite a lot, apparently. I haven't taken a vow of celibacy yet. :-p

What will you willingly endure so that someone else can learn something?

Depends on what will result from them learning it. Generally, less than I would endure for my own sake. But what I usually go through to help other people learn is far too benign to use words like "endure".

Does it matter whether or not you already know whatever it is?

Not particularly, unless I'm interested in learning it too.
