Danish physicist, Nobel prize winner and all-round nice guy Niels Bohr once said this:
An expert is a person who has made all the mistakes that can be made in a very narrow field.
Remember that the next time someone calls themselves an expert. And, yes, I do it too :o)
Managers: Remember this the next time you want to fire a screw up, he might just be a few steps closer to becoming the expert you need?
– Ask what did you learn now?
:)
Yes I learned lots of things from mistakes, what i did.
At least I know I’m well on my way to expert status then. :)
Experience really is the best reacher, and it’s the price of expertise.
