Word for the Day: Wednesday, March 28, 2012

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Competence.  To be competent in a subject, you go to school and study.  To be competent in a trade, you get training, which (hopefully) includes on-the-job training.  And you keep getting more competent (also hopefully), as you work at this trade.

Why did I say "hopefully" in the prior paragraph?  Because of a book, "The Peter Principle", which suggests exceptions to that "rule".  Be careful!
