Genuine Expertise

Query: Please find enclosed my article for the xyz souvenir. Please feel free to comment.

Mr. Gerard Colaco: Good article. Enjoyed reading it. I can readily identify with its content.

I have no reason to suggest alterations. I know you value confidence more than expertise. I don't, because I believe there can be no confidence without solid expertise which comes from a healthy mix of quality self-education and quality practice based on the quality self-education.

In the absence of genuine expertise, there may be overconfidence or misplaced confidence, which can lead to serious mistakes. I have seen this happen with depressing regularity.
