I do like the way you have framed this particular concern plus it does provide me personally a lot of fodder for consideration. Nevertheless, through what precisely I have witnessed, I only trust as other remarks stack on that folks keep on issue and in no way get started on a soap box associated with the news du jour. All the same, thank you for this superb piece and while I can not really concur with this in totality, I value the standpoint.

With all the blogs out there with material on them with a ton of junk it’s nice to find a blog whose admin takes the time to create good material. TY for the good article.

I am a big fan of the type of mindset that Confucious advocates. Its slightly reminiscent of Popper’s falsificationism. The notion that we must always try to disprove (falsify) our theories, not find facts that reinforce them; and that we never have an absolute truth, just the strongest theory at the moment.

Both of these positions keep you open to learning, which I would think is the cornerstone of long-term expertise.

I have developed a mindset that when I take some subject for work I try to get as much information as I can regarding the topic like time management or leadership skills and I can tell one thing, when you do not admit lack of knowledge in some area, your learning will suffer big time.

For years I have worked with sales people who brush over any hole in their knowledge as if in admitting that they don’t know something they would preclude themselves from being a worthy vendor.

I personally can tell when someone is making it up on the spot and so I find them more knowledgeable and respectable when they have the confidence to say “you know what I’m not sure, I will have to look into that!”

An expert is someone who can answer the majority of questions on a subject but when caught in the dark is inclined to find out the answer in my opinion!

If you do not admit that you have weaknesses and face the fact that you do not know everything then you will finally fail, but if you admit that you are not the smartest man in the world and are always willing to learn then you will make it big time.

Well you have to admit it in order to be able to change it. So if you don’t act from the perspective of the ego, to admit you don’t know what you don’t know is perfectly fine!
