And of course, it's completely stupid to react like that and someone who is cultured, someone who has read and learned a lot should know it, because any person, whoever they are, is more competent than you or me in a field, even the one who seemed less qualified. If you see a person who lives on the street, who has had a lot of misfortune, who has no education, well they necessarily know things that you don't know, so even this person can teach you things.
So, what we must avoid at all costs is not not knowing things. is this lack of humility, because we often think that what is causing us problems is what we do not know. And indeed, in certain specific cases, this can happen. A business leader, for example, who ignores a law, a law on human resources, the law regarding employees or a tax law regarding taxes, of course he can have big problems.
But in most cases, it's not what we don't know that causes us problems, it's what we think we know but that's wrong. And that's a subject that has been studied a lot too, knowing what we don't know is thailand whatsapp number data even more important than knowing what we know. So I'm going to repeat that: knowing what we don't know, knowing our own limits ultimately, is even more important than knowing what we know.
And there's a great quote from Mark Twain, the pseudonym of the American writer who wrote Tom Sawyer, the adventures of Tom Sawyer and others, he said, and I love this quote, Mark Twain was really good at quotes, there's one about reading that I keep repeating to you, that I'm not going to repeat to you today, but this quote is: "It's not what we don't know that poses problems, it's what we know but that's wrong." And I agree with him. Not knowing is not really the problem.
So the remedy and the warning that I wanted to give you today, to give you today and to take for myself too, is that you must certainly have a thirst for learning, that is important. You must learn, learn, learn, be curious, try to know more, develop yourself, but of course you must remain humble about everything you don't know. If we do that, not knowing will never be a problem.
So that's it for today. I hope you enjoyed it. Don't hesitate, if you're interested in personal development, to go take a look, you have a link in the description of the episode, at www.francaisauthentique.com/4p like 4 pills and you'll discover a little more about my personal development book.
