“I Don’t Know”

When you admit you don't know something, you can learn something new.

It's smart to say "I don't know," because no one knows everything. Wisdom can come from the mind, the heart, or the body. Even experts in math, science, marketing, psychology, medicine, or other fields don't know everything. Only an empty cup can be filled- a real master knows they don't know everything.

We don't want to learn about a lot of things we don't know. Freedom is not knowing. When we admit we don't know something, we can learn. That's strong. We stop growing and learning when we think we know everything. People who admit they don't know something tend to be more intellectually and emotionally sure of themselves. They also feel better about who they are and don't try to hide or fake ignorance. When you act like you know something you don't, you look like a fool.

Respect those who are candid about their ignorance and are willing to learn. They are honest with us and with themselves. "I don't know" is not a bad thing to say. So, we are left with the unknown. Then we can find out what we don't know yet.?
