The wise man knows that he knows nothing. This is the beginning of all true knowledge.
Socrates
Classical Wisdom
Meaning:
Intellectual humility is the prerequisite for learning. If we think we already know everything, our minds are closed. True wisdom begins when we acknowledge our own limitations.

Daily Application

Be a lifelong learner. Approach every situation with the curiosity of a child. By letting go of the need to be the expert, you allow new and deeper insights to enter your mind.
