Original Advice
“DONT: Confuse confidence with competence during decisions.”
Stage Presence Isn’t Proof of Mastery
Here’s the sting: your certainty is not evidence. A steady voice, a bold stance, and a perfect pitch can sell you on a bad call. The room claps; the numbers don’t. Charisma pads the fall. Ego edits the data. Decide like an engineer, not a headliner. Check the math. Ask for receipts. Let applause stay outside the door.
Confidence is loud; competence is traceable. Skill leaves artifacts: prototypes, logs, timelines, results. Hype leaves footprints in dust. Your brain loves swagger because it reduces doubt. Doubt is oxygen for better choices. When the crown glitters, test the metal. Verify sources. Separate authority from expertise. Make decisions that survive daylight, audits, and silence. If it can’t be measured, it can’t be trusted today.
