Don't be Gauss to Abel!
The impact senior professionals may have on juniors can be tremendous. It's a great opportunity to share, help, promote and ... learn too.
The story of Gauss and Abel is covered by Wikipedia:
Abel sent a paper on the unsolvability of the quintic equation to Carl Friedrich Gauss, who proceeded to discard without a glance what he believed to be the worthless work of a crank.
As well as by the 2nd volume of the "Men of Mathematics" by E. T. Bell.
