The Mark Dykeman Web Niche

A couple of weeks ago I wrote this post about the practice of writing morning pages, something that I was trying to make into a daily habit.

I haven’t been completely faithful to the task - the past four days have been particularly spotty. It’s not always pleasant, but it is helpful. Got to get back on track tomorrow.

I’d like to recommend a book called The Road Less Traveled to anyone and everyone. It made an extraordinary difference in my life at a time when I desperately needed it. Maybe it can do the same for other people.

I just started a post to link to one of my Helium articles, only to discover that I already have a link to it in this blog.

Silly boy.

Recently I read this article about experts.  The main point that I took from the article is that if you’re incapable of demonstrating your expertise, then you’re not an expert.  I had the following comment about this article:

 I’ve always believed that being “expert” is to demonstrate superior knowledge or skills, particularly the former. Unfortunately, some people are poor verbal communicators, so they don’t sell themselves very well. Most of us have encountered a teacher, instructor, or academic who suffers from this problem. However, these same people could be excellent written communicators. Or, sadly, they could have the knowledge but be unable to explain it. Despite their communication abilities, or lack thereof, I do believe that you can be a knowledge expert regardless of how well you can communicate.

I’m curious to know what other people think.
