Expertize matters a lot

Each incident in our life teaches us something new and useful. Yesterday I went to drink tender coconut and I found that the person selling it selected a very small one from old stock category. I told him that it was not a good selection and showed him a fresh looking one. He argued back telling that its not good and all are fresh and continued with his story. I could not argue back as I was not sure with my selection. Later he chopped the one which he had selected and though it had less water in it, it tasted good. I later wondered why i didn't go with my selection!! Generally I won't let things go so easily but I was not sure and confident about my selection, so I had to compromise with what he chose. Once I thought of going with my selection later thought why to take risk. At the end it was a satisfying drink and it taught me a lesson too. I realized, Expertize matters a lot!!!

We come across many such incidents daily but many a times we don't think much about that. Be it work place, house, sports or any field for that matter, unless we know in and out of a thing we cant justify our choice. We will be lacking self confidence which is very vital to face any situation and defend ourselves. So, Its very important for us to know our strengths and work on it to still fortify it, meanwhile we should also recognize the weak link and try to strengthen it. However achieving expertize in everything is impossible, but we can be experts in our domain with careful and dedicated work. Swami Vivekananda has rightly said that-'Strength is Life and Weakness is Death'. In order to sustain in this competitive world we should  build our personality in such a way that we will be knowing what we are exactly doing.

Always remember, we have lot of things to learn from our day to day interactions and experiences, provided we have that sensitivity to grasp and zeal to learn....
