I claim to be an expert of nothing. I just happen to have technical knowledge gained from my years of working in the food service industry that may be helpful to the average person. Besides, to me, calling yourself an expert in anything would imply that you know everything there is to know about that given topic. The way I look at it is that there are always… ALWAYS learning opportunities out there, and no matter how informed you think you are there is always… ALWAYS someone out there who knows more than you.
Labels that I will gladly associate myself with are: Proficient, Capable, Talented, Skilled, Adept, Competent, Dexterous, Practiced, Knowledgeable, Qualified, and Accomplished. At the risk of sounding pretentious, maybe I’ll even let Brilliant slide in too.
Song stuck in my head at the time of this post: The USC Marching Band section of ‘Tusk’ by Fleetwood Mac
