-- 

None of our men are "experts."  We have most unfortunately found
it necessary to get rid of a man as soon as he thinks himself an
expert -- because no one ever considers himself expert if he really
knows his job.  A man who knows a job sees so much more to be done
than he has done, that he is always pressing forward and never
gives up an instant of thought to how good and how efficient he is.
Thinking always ahead, thinking always of trying to do more, brings
a state of mind in which nothing is impossible. The moment one gets
into the "expert" state of mind a great number of things become
impossible.
