Knowing. . .

No matter how knowledgeable we are, we all (inevitably) have things that we don’t know. That is what it means to be human. We have limits. And knowing when we don’t know something is far more powerful, and knowledgeable, than the more emotionally immature attitude of thinking that we know it all. Real knowledge is to know the extent of one’s ignorance. When you see a good person, try to emulate their example, and when you see a bad person, search within yourself for these same faults. It is not the failure of others to appreciate your abilities that should trouble you, but rather your failure to appreciate theirs. – Confucius Peace and Love, Jim
