RE: Why Incompetent People Think They're Amazing
This is all true, but I also believe that everyone is good at something. You may be absolutely TERRIBLE at math but maybe you're perfect for a job in journalism, just naturally. And that's just how it works- some people are better at things than others, but everyone has a strength. The sooner you can accept this, the sooner you can become better like that TED talk is saying.
I agree, but as the TED talk says we have to be careful of the other bias. When we are really good at something we sometimes tend to think everyone holds the same amount of knowledge. Being a patient teacher is just as important as being a good student. Thanks for your comment Craori - you're right we are all good at some thing or even a few things!
That's true. Gotta make sure you're thinking about stuff before being impatient/upset at someone for not knowing or having as much information on something that you do.
