I may be too modest to believe I am authority on anything, because no matter what I know, there is always more to learn. Of course, what I may say I know is phrased as “I know a little something about…” I know a littles something about the law because I was a corporate lawyer for a few years. I’m authority in the sense I know more about it than the average person. I know enough about it to laugh at Perry Mason and other shows about court. I know enough to get aggravated at politicians incorrectly interpreting law. I know a little something about management, growing vegetables, painting, sculpture, writing, woodworking and fixing stuff around the house. I would say – I am an authority on being a hermit. Also, I am an authority on what I like, which is important, because if I value myself, I stand on strong ground to be useful to others.
