It Begins

"The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing."

So said Socrates.
If that were the case, I would be the wisest of them all.

I have a new job assignment. An interesting and challenging one at that. And it scares me to death. Even more so after my first meeting with my new mentor. That's when I realized how inadequate my knowledge and experience in the field is.

But that I knew all along. I knew I lacked the necessary skills, which was why I jumped at the opportunity. Aiming through this assignment to sharpen those skills (or lack thereof). Yet a part of me can't help but feel slightly embarassed at the fact that I know so little.

I will spend the rest of the evening contemplating my incompetency.

On the bright side, I moved to a new window office. Got a new work station, a high-end PC. And a personal mentor.

So maybe, just maybe.. This won't turn out to be so bad after all.
