Expertise and humility

Wednesday 15 August 2007 - Filed under Journal

You know those moments when you feel you are uniquely and expertly qualified to speak about something? You almost always fuck up in those moments. While confidence is a great thing, that prideful feeling of competence is almost always accompanied by absent-minded failure.

In the height of your glory, when the world is gathered around you to listen to your wisdom and benefit from your experience…

be humble.

    I remember a quote. I don’t know from where it came.

    “Don’t be so humble, you are not that great!”

    I found those nine words quite interesting…..
