Metamorphosing Into an Expert
The best thing about being an authority figure is the amount of respect that you get. I think it would be startling to have people run to you as soon as they are worried by a question. Then, you can sit down wisely, ponder over their problems, and respond to them with the answer that they were looking for. Well, it may not be very straightforward to actually turn into an suthority figure. It requires years of study, and years of experience. Six months working in an orchestra won't turn you into the music messiah messiah.
Most of us are not persevering enough to become experts at a particular topic. We largely prefer to be jacks of all trades and masters of none. Not that it is a problem to try to be well-acquainted with only the essential concepts of an array of subjects. However, the upshot of this is that we miss out on making the shift into becoming an expert. We can repair a fuse, fill out forms, and maybe even change a tyre or two. However, few of us non-experts can reach beyond and come by a level of expertise that the common folk lack.
Even experts lack the knowledge to answer queries pertaining to every subject in the world. A professor of History, for example, may be a walking encyclopedia when he begins to speak on everything historical. He may also have a decent store of knowledge about the art of the period. However, to expect him to also be a connoisseur of modern art is expecting a little too much.
Similarly, it is somewhat unfair to expect a mortgage consultant to be exceptionally well-versed in the fluctuations taking place in the share markets. He may have a practical knowledge of of the current market situation. However, it is not necessary that he has to know everything about the markets themselves.
And what about psychics? A lot of people claim to have psychic abilities. Yet, only a few of them are truly adept in the art of giving very accurate psychic readings. So anyone who wants a fantastic reading goes to those experts only.
I would love to be an expert in Java or C++ or some other programming language. However, that would call for much of your time and energy -- effort that I am not ready to put in at this point of time. So if I have a problem (and this is not just limited to programming languages), the most advisable turn to take is to visit an expert and get him/her to help me solve it. There really is no point in hassling myself by rummaging around everywhere for answers when I can get it much faster by consulting an expert.
