The two-minute expert

Sometimes we think we can be two-minute experts.

We think that a project will be a piece of cake, we’ll somehow have the skills to execute something new, and accomplishment is right around the corner.

Fortunately, it doesn’t work like that – at least not for most of us. Yes, some people have natural talent. Yes, some people are quick learners. Many of them don’t appreciate the gifts they possess, often times wasting it.

Don’t let the two-minute expert mentality plague other areas in your life such as marriage, parenthood, self-development, etc. It’s during the difficulty of accomplishment that we learn our greatest lessons and become solid experts.
