The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing L88gp
All the people in the world make judgments and have their viewpoints. According to the Cambridge dictionary, knowledge is the understanding of or information about a subject that you get by experience or study, either known by one person or by people generally. Hence, it is cardinal to appraise that the significance of what people affirm depends on how much compos mentis they are.
Not everyone would affirm publicly to not know what they are talking about. Notwithstanding, Newton said: “What we know is a drop, what we do not know is an ocean”. With all this in mind, it could be comprehensible to wonder the reason for saying that you are ignorant but, it is essential to understand that, in this case, it is not a negative connotation. In fact, being aware of not knowing and being not afraid to say it clearly shows to be open-minded and it is also a crucial attribute for personal growth. The human being himself never stops learning, thus, he cannot have the overconfidence to define himself as a thoroughgoing expert. The words of Socrates have to be seen as a starting point, not a condition that has to be endured. Having something to learn, needless to say, is essential to move forward and not to slavishly retrace what we already know. It is also important to know that this concept can be applied to real-life with the adoption of simple steps: first of all, do not take everything for granted; secondly, be curious and do not think that you fulfilled your full potential and last but not least always try to do your best.
To conclude, it happens often to feel ashamed of not knowing what you or other people are talking about, but it is relevant to keep in mind that not only has it to be considered a way to show self-confidence and maturity but also a way to keep learning in each field of life.
