Anyway, been a 'photographer' since 1979, studied with an 'old master' who taught me all the rules then told me:
Forget everything you have learned and use your mind first, then your eyes and lastly make sure you get lucky.
Then he fired me: I don't need the competition.
He was right.

He was right. What he was telling that I had to break out of the tech mode and recreate myself by reinventing my own style (that had become like his).
Now you are fired was his way of telling me: get out, I just have enough job for myself.
I have found memories of him (he was 67). He specialized in portraits of individual and groups of wealthy families in Lyon (France). All his work was in black and white on an old 5x7 view camera in his studio.
I also cannot remember the number of times when he screamed GET OUT!!! (because of some stupid thing I had done - or HE had done)
