The power of "I don't know"

I have a confession to make: I don't know many things, sometimes embarrassingly simple. There's no shame in that.

What happens then is very important: I learn new things. I fill the gaps and grow.

Don't just sit ignorantly not knowing—reach out, read, ask questions and learn. It's the best thing you can do for yourself: evolve, acquire skills, and knowledge.

Next time somebody makes fun of you for not knowing something, shrug it off. Soon, you will be stronger, smarter, better—but will they?
