| 645871 | 2008-03-04 05:01:00 | Not sure what you are meaning by this, but I take it that you mean experience leads to expertise? It is my experience that experience on its own does not necessarily translate into expertise. Experience can simply be a process of doing the same thing over and over for years without thinking about it or looking at alternatives. I have known many people who have vast levels of experience, but who are firmly stuck in the past, having been left behind by new learning. No, experience is better than expertise. I'd rather take someones advice who has had this happen to them (a blow out or whatever) than someone that works in the tyre industry (and has never had it happen to them) |

| 645873 | 2008-03-04 06:47:00 | Which is why people who believe themselves to be experts based on other peoples experiences are best ignored. Someone once told me your competence was the sum total of your training+experience. Granted its as flawed as all "rules of thumb" but it does illustrate the fact that one without the other isn't worth much, Learning and experience is the desired combination. I have to stop people all the time taking stupid action based on their experience alone..... |

| 645876 | 2008-03-04 07:28:00 | Expertise comes from reading books that were written by people with experience . Person A) Someone writes a book on their experience in Dubai and you read it, you do your research on the place, but have never been there . Person B) Another person knows little to nothing about Dubai, but has spent a few weeks there doing plenty of things . Who would I rather have recommending places to go, things to see, what to avoid, what to take etc? |

| 645879 | 2008-03-04 08:22:00 | What do you mean? I would love to be 18 again, especially if I knew what I know now but even if I didn't. Actually, thinking about it, "wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then". |
