....of the Danish physicist Niels Bohr? No? Me neither until a few months ago. Anyway, he said 'An expert is a person who has made all the mistakes that can be made in a very narrow field.' Perhaps he is right. Possibly too, a fool is a person who considers their own area of expertise to extend across too wide a field. We can all learn from the errors that we may have made in the past but how does that prevent us from making more errors in the future?
It's very possible that somewhere in your world now, there is someone who knows what you need to know. Are you wise enough to see that they know it?
There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must take it because conscience tells him it is right.
(Martin Luther King Jnr)
