Coachability: Are you coachable? Or do you have an inflated opinion of yourself and your abilities? Beginners mindset: Do I think I'm better than I really am? Honest self-reflection: Am I honest about where I'm at in my learning? Willingness to receive feedback: Do I get my feelings hurt easily or am I open to criticism? Commitment to daily learning: Am I willing to put in the effort and do what it takes to learn and grow? "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go further. Go with others."
WOW
Well, I hope that smacked a half-a-million online players like it did me. At least, I HOPE I wasn't the only one ... and now I'll slink back into my bat cave and keep workin'. 
Coachability is related to IQ as well, which is why it costs so much to teach the lowest level kids getting very limited results.

Nope. My teaching days are over. Now my chess time is invested in myself.

Maybe he's tired of telling people to stop playing speed chess if they want to improve

I applied it to all levels of my life, learning to be kind to friends and respect their space and do the hard work ... each one is a learning experience and we are all students (or should be). The items hit me especially hard for one particularly-intense college course!
ADDED: And of course it applies to this highly-complex-but-rocking-cool game called chess.

I'm not sure it is difficult to understand - clearly there are thousands of posts on this forum whose goal is to direct players to help them in their struggles with chess and many are in teacher/student capacities.
I sure see a lot of coaches AND students here and all chess sites and even YouTube! We help each other, right?
