Criteria for Expertise: Acknowledging Mistakes

Experts are distinguished by their ability to recognize and learn from their mistakes. By acknowledging and constantly reflecting on their errors, experts demonstrate a deeper understanding and commitment to improvement. In contrast, individuals who struggle to identify their mistakes tend to remain at a competent level without progressing to true expertise. The willingness to confront and learn from failures is a key trait that separates experts from journeymen.
