If someone asks for advice
and a bigger expert than myself
on the topic
chimes in,
answering that someone’s question,
I shut up.
This isn’t
because I’m humble.
This is
because I want to learn.
I want to hear
what the expert has to say.
Experts are in demand.
They have sh*t to do.
If someone else starts talking
on their subject,
someone who knows much less,
an expert usually leaves
the conversation.
They don’t have time
to listen to garbage.
What makes a person
an expert?
Having proven success
in that topic
by DOING,
not by merely reading about it.
When an expert
starts talking,
allow her to speak.
