Just read an article at smashingmagazine.com. The subject is:  ”How to become A Web Design Expert”

What I’ve learned from this article is:

• All the experts are not very well known
• Being an expert is more then about getting people to listen
• Being perceived as an expert can be helpful when working with clients, and it does create the potential to attract better-quality work.
• To become an expert, you need time and experience
• Proficient at overcoming problems
• Without passion, you have no desire to learn new things or push boundaries.
  
• I believe that an almost obsessive passion for Web design is required to be a true expert.
• Experimenting and making mistakes are crucial if experts are to establish their credibility.
• I have to make mistakes, not hundreds or thousands. Billions of them.
• Success is going from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm. - Winston Churchill
• The definition of an expert is someone who knows what not to do. - Charles Willson
• We need to learn to face our failures
• stop insisting that you are an expert
• Not that context is everything. It’s also about what you say and how you say it.
  
• Have your own books, presentations, blogs and podcast about your experties
• If you want to be perceived as an expert, know yourself, be relaxed and present with confidence.
• present evidence/reference to support your positions
• Your expertise should always be about serving others
• You become an expert so that you can do a better job for your clients, provide more value to your organization and help others establish best practice in your industry
