Mentor Someone
If someone new starts looking into patterns, mentor him. Help him to build his own pattern catalogs. Teach him about the most important patterns that you know. Work with him to bring him to the same level of understanding about patterns that you have.
You don't need to know everything; you just have to stay a step ahead of your protégé. Mentoring is an opportunity for you to grow, too, because learning by teaching is a well-known pattern.
