Experience Does Not Equal Excellence

FR090213 - 2150

My thoughts for today...
I agree, in some cases, more experience does equal a higher level of quality. But it is not universal. It is safe to say that if someone loves something enough and practices at it enough over a number of years, but still isn't "officially stamped", that person may still be just as proficient, knowledgeable, and experienced as a professional in whatever field he or she may be interested in. On the converse, a person may be "officially stamped" and be completely inept. I have seen this...recently.

Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion. No debate there. I just think it is sad that ignorance takes precedence over giving something a chance before forming that opinion.

Jeff, there was a guy at kettlebell class this morning that was wearing a shirt that said "activity does not equal progress". It's the same concept. I thought about the the whole class.
