If only people would realise what they know and acknowledge what they don’t know!
It is so frustrating when those who know a little bit about a particular subject, try to tell those of us who are experienced and knowledgeable in that area what to do, because they think they know better! I accept when I am talking about an area I am not an expert in, but when I’m talking about an area I have many years experience in and it is my profession, I wish people would accept that I know what I’m talking about, and not try to tell me what to do.
Sorry this is a bit of a rant post, but I had to spend additional time on something that I shouldn’t have had to, simply because someone who only has a passing knowledge of something, thought they knew better than me, when actually they only had a small fraction of knowledge/information on the subject they were challenging me on. I had to count to 10, and then respond, highlighting various things they hadn’t considered, as they had no knowledge of it!
It’s good to discuss, but I wish people would accept what those more experienced/knowledgeable on the subject matter are advising, instead of insisting they know best!
