Comments

I always have a difficult time giving advice or commenting on something I don't agree with. Afterall, what the heck do I know? Well yesterday I was out of character. Obviously I know a thing or two about printers. I read a printer comparison done @ CNN's smal business site. It was one of those apples to oranges comparisons that might not be obvious to everyone. I sent a comment poking holes in the whole thing & they contacted me and asked if they could publish my comments. I thought that was pretty cool.
There are days when I miss being the subject matter expert.
So, back to "what the heck do I know?" Maybe that's just what I like to portray externally. I actually do know lots and have my opinion, right or wrong, on everything. However I don't usually show my cards. I think that's interesting psychologically. Do I want to please people by letting them do what they want despite what I might think? Did I express my opinion sometime early in life & get crushed by being wrong? Do I get a kick out of watching people stumble when they're wrong? Maybe it's just related to my conservative nature. Think, think, think, think some more, execute. Insecurity? Maybe I should take another psychology class or two.
