Ever run into a client — oh, maybe a car dealer — who spends lots & lots of money on advertising and therefore considers himself to be an advertising “expert”?
This is a true story.
A while ago someone mentioned a mutual friend, a successful TV producer.
“Stevie’s a great blackjack player, you know,” I was told.
As a former serious and successful blackjack player, this surprised me.
“Really?” I said.
“Yes. Last weekend he went to Vegas and lost $50,000!”
I swear that’s a true story.
Doing it a lot doesn’t mean you’re an expert. It just means you do it a lot.

A lady I knew once said that her and her son had visited a restaurant (a very popular and excellent one) and the son said that the food was dreadful! ‘He should know! He’s a professional chef!’ My retort of ‘Doesn’t mean he’s any good at it!’ caused them both to walk out of the bar and to never be seen again!
Wise words for every aspect of life.
