Apostrophe S

I often wonder if I’ll ever become an expert.

Think about it. Would you consider yourself an expert at anything? Sure, I know a fair deal about a decent cross-section of subjects, but I would never go so far as to call myself an expert on any one of them. Even at my job. There are a bazillion people who know more about newspaper design than me. Sp what makes an expert?

Wikipedia has this to say about it:

An expert is someone widely recognized as a reliable source of knowledge, technique, or skill whose judgement is accorded authority and status by the public or their peers. #

So it is a new goal in my life to become an expert at something before I die. To be that guy that people go to for answers or training. Someday, I’ll have expertise.

Now I just have to decide in what area my expertise will be. Perhaps sharpshooting. Or maybe lamp design. Any ideas?
