I do......................................................................................,
...........................................................................................,
I will say yes to any task put to me, I long for knowledge, no to be better than others but so that I know for myself I can answer something or know how something is done, I don't claim to be an expert, no one is.

This is not an attack on anyone.
just a question to see who does what.

Yes me too & I will also turn down offers of help 'cause there are things I'm convinced I do best-It's called BEING STUBBORN!!

Yes, I constantly challenge myself and others as well, in order to understand the world around me.

I use my knowledge of life, the world, people and myself, tag on a bit of common sense and drop in a teaspoonful of logic.

I disagree with the term no one is an expert.

Would you let someone perform open heart surgery on you if they were an amateur....?

Hi Carla, yes, it would be a boring world if we were all the same.

Good to see you back Eldrick,,
When I say "No one is an expert"
it is because we are all constantly learning new things everyday, even those who have the title of expert must keep up with courses to be on top.

I'm an expert chocolate eater mmmmmmmhh!

Yes, but they still deserve 'expert' status in my book. The alternative is 'Not Expert' which is not a comforting thought. Semantics maybe, but very true I think.

Do you challenge everything or just some things...?

Sometimes it depends on the circumstances-I try not to just do things to prove a point,bets/dares etc but genuine knowledge I'm happy to expand & I will bow to those with greater wisdom(eventually lol)

I wan't deny them the title deserved, there is no doubt a lot of hard hours in the profession they choose to get to where they are.

but you said quite distinctly 'I don't claim to be an expert, no one is.'

:-)

never mind. No problem.

Now - back to challenges. Is it good to challenge, do you think?

Even the mighty make mistakes,thats what makes us human & why we have logic & common sense (with an option to ignore both if required). :)

Challenges keep you alive,if you don't try different things you don't have a life-just an existence?

to challenge myself, yes I believe it is.

It is always good to 'learn' to enhance our lives with knowledge of the world around us .... I am a little 'stubborn' at times, OH always says if someone tells me I am not capable, then I have to prove them wrong ! pmsl

I really don't know what he means by that !

Ooops forgot ~~~~~~~~ to everyone :)

Always wanting to learn new things, i am now going to join computer class, cause sick of this laptop confusing me, kids getting tired of teaching me wont let it beat me.

and do you ever challenge anything other than yourself....as in the world around you....i mean..if you are told something, do you accept it or challenge it....?

..........................Joan, can you enroll me as well please??

Or could some kind person give easy lessons??

my challenge right now is to do what I can to stay upright on these flippin crutches , oh yeah and really tick OH off because i wont stay sat down lol

seriously though I love a challenge, have a big one coming up on thurs, off for an interview for a new post at work, they have said it will be down to the person who gets it to make the job spec!!!!

I was put to the test once, working in the local mines, in there they have their own way of doing things, the gov't law seems not to be allowed past the gates but plant operators inside and out all get their tickets from the smae gov't body, however, when I was told this and that should be like this and that, I disagreed and was challenged, since I am one to read about what I am involved with I had the correct answers, and they did not like it, I lost my job after that.

If I don't agree with something I'll challenge it.
If you don't you get walked on & I don't like that!
Hi all ~~~~~~~~~~~~
