There is this show that I love so much that I have watched more than 10 times.
I thought I understood it. I even bragged about it in a few occasions.
Until recently, when I watched a whole and well-structured series of explanation videos on the show.
I realized I had not really understood anything.
And when I searched the maker of those explanation videos, I found out that he had been studying the domain for more than 20 years.
In other words, he is an expert!
The points I want to make are as follows:
- Try to be an expert in some area. That is our value add.
- For areas where we are amateurs, it might be better to search for some expert opinions to boost our understanding. (Of course, never brag about your shallow understanding)
