How to become a unix guru

Just read this on the irc channel #netbsd on freenode. Found it funny :) <alphawaves> how can I become a unix guru? <alphawaves> is it only possible? <sqweek> do you really want to? <alphawaves> uhm y eah i try to several years * AccessExcess has quit (Remote closed the connection) <sqweek> do you still want to after i tell you that aside from general understanding it requires rote learning of countless quirks and inconsistencies between tools/distros/systems?
