History is filled with great accomplishments accomplished by people who shouldn’t be able to accomplish them. While not accomplishing great accomplishments, I find that I was almost always under qualified.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I read history. Some would tell me that I read and reread too much history. One item I read repeatedly is someone is chosen to or pushed into an endeavor for which they are (seemingly) under qualified. After some time, these under-qualified persons achieve beyond all reasonable expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Perhaps the expect-ors, i.e., those who expect these people to fail, are simply miserable at expecting or predicting the future. The great majority of us fail at predicting the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Perhaps the under-qualified persons don’t understand their lack of qualifications. Perhaps they accept the challenge with an “Oh yeah? I’ll show you!” attitude. Ambition is an amazing thing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Another amazing thing is confidence instilled by a chooser of the under qualified. “I am choosing you to accomplish this as we all need this accomplished, so go accomplish it.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Me? Yes, you. You CAN do it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But I am under qualified to inspire the under qualified to accomplish what seemingly they cannot accomplish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I think we are back at the beginning. Under qualified? Go accomplish it anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" by Dwayne Phillips History is filled with great accomplishments accomplished by people who shouldn’t be able to accomplish them.
