good at many things, but no expert…
Lately I have found myself trying to figure out if I am en expert at anything. Not just good or talented at something, but an expert.
With projects around the house, playing various sports, programming, friendships, and the list goes on. I know I am talented and very capable. But I don’t feel like I am an expert at anything.
It makes me wonder how many of us actually are experts at something. Last fall I read a great book called Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell. He mentions in the book that it takes 10,000 hours to become an expert at something, sports, music, law, finance. That is almost 5 years of your life working from 9-to-5 at something with no breaks.
I do 2 things that much, work and sleep. But I am not even an expert with those subjects. At work I do so many different things that I cant have the time or focus to become and expert at one of them.
One thing I am probably closest to becoming an expert is that I talk like I am an expert at everything.
“Jack of all trades, master of none”
I dont want to be that guy anymore. I want to become a master at something, an expert in that field.
Here’s the problem… I dont know what it will be…
I’m an expert at most things, it’s overrated.
