Being an expert

As far as demand in our world? How do demand perfectionism, in the current realities, and whether it is necessary to be the best at all? From an evolutionary perspective - no. Enough to live to reproductive age, reproduce and die. More, our genes do not expect from us. But there is another factor, which occupies an equally important position. This environment. That it requires us to make and promote activities further, going beyond the primitive needs and their satisfaction.

This environment forces us to be the best at everything at once. But this is the case, if we do not take a position. Rich, successful, creative people - are engaged in a mass of cases in which they succeed. They are the best in many ways, we see them only in a positive way, but we do not demand this from those around us and from themselves.

In society there is a certain reallocation of roles, and each of us is fixed a certain way, the role of which is constant or in any society, and we are changing it in accordance with the environment. The role of the "all-round expert" need most often in conversations with friends, to highlight the status. But whether it is necessary in everyday life? No. We do not need to be the most powerful, intelligent, quick, brave. We tend to adapt to the conditions and to confirm this vital activity. And the better we "adapt" the higher our status on the ladder of evolution.

The world is changing rapidly, thanks to the fruits of progress and technology. There are new profession and leveled earlier. Therefore, people have to be retrained and get used to what is required of him. This raises the question of demand. Who needs someone who can perform highly specialized work? Yes, in his case the person is a professional. But we are of it that do not require. In addition, it is necessary to take into account the direction in which is occupied by one person or another. Nuclear physicist can learn how to build houses. But whether the builders to learn nuclear physics? Can, for this opportunity they have. But if the desire is there, the motivation, the need? A certain mentality and needs - set the vector activity, characteristic of a person.

But all of the above, it is not the whole problem. There are plenty of "experts" who draw conclusions and make haste to share them with everyone trying to assert its status. No professional would not prove the absolute correctness of their work. On the contrary - he immediately points to a number of shortcomings and errors and to easily agree that the outcome could have been better. But the alleged "expert" will insist on it is irrefutable and unique data. On what is right so, and if you move away from its canons, that all the work will come to nothing.

Can be infinitely right. It is possible to defend its case, the infallibility and loyalty. But should we decide we want to be right, or to make progress? None of the victims - the evolution, as yet, impossible.
