The Project Manager's Life 17

In Western culture we occasionally use the Latin expression “experto credite” (trust one with experience). Of course, how do we know that the one in whom we choose to believe really is a qualified expert? The following sher, once again by Nidaa Faazli, provides a word of warning.

कभी कभी यूं भी हमने जी को बहलाया है
जिन बातों को नहीं समझे औरों को समझाया है

शायर : निदा फ़ाज़ली

کبھی کبھی يوں بھی ہمنے جی کو بہلايا ہے

جن باتوں کو نہيں سمجھے اوروں کو سمجھايا ہے

شاعر : ندا فاضلی

This sher also reminds me of a saying we have in English: “Those who can do, and those who can’t teach.” I personally do not adhere to this. I have the highest admiration for those who have dedicated themselves to educating others. Nevertheless, the saying is there and it pairs nicely with the above sher.
