Mark says: "The challenge is in doing, not knowing" he goes on to say how we should train ourselves to ask a question of ourself each time we learn something new... "how can I put that knowledge to good use?" so that we're consistently focused on the action... and not the knowledge. The continued acquisition of knowledge leads to continued action.

I guess the trick is turning all of that learning into actions, but I'd hope that for most people, that would be a pretty natural progression. Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you around some more! Shannon, so glad you found it and enjoyed it!

I also think you're right that most true experts got to where they were by reading some of what experts had to say, unless it's a "self-nominated" expert who got their expert status simply by telling people they are an expert. Your second paragraph is right on! Thanks for stopping by Grace! I’d definitely agree experts don’t suck (that was more of a headline to get people to read the post…guilty as charged!)

Where would the experts have learned their expertise if it weren't for the experts they used to listen and learn from? I wouldn't say they suck. I would say experts need to still listen, grow and learn. There is no possible way, one expert can know it all and be "done." Work always continues and there is usually an evolving aspect to whatever 'expertise' you may be an expert in... I’m curious to see what the definition of an expert is.
