5. The Important Of Knowing
It is important to know things to navigate through life. Knowing
things can help you solve problems, face challenges, make
friends, and most critically have a foundation upon which to lay
exploration of things that you do not know.
6. 89%The times in which people who did not know something found a positive
outcome from acknowledging they did not know the thing
7. We stand to gain a lot from
acknowledging the things we
do not know.
8. The Importance of NOT Knowing
Though not knowing is often considered bad, it can create a lot
of good -- in fact it is arguably more important to acknowledge
when you do not know something than when you do. Through
not knowing a thing, you can enjoy the novelty of learning
about it, bond with others through learning about it, build an
even stronger foundation of knowing things which means you
can ultimately know so many more things.
9. Put It Into Practice
Things to do to get better at not knowing
and then knowing the thing
● Say “No” when someone asks if
you know the thing.
● Ask someone to explain a thing
they know that you don’t.
● Research about the thing through
queries like “how does this thing
work” rather than “the thing”.
● As you start to know a little bit
about the thing, share an opinion
about it while being open to
someone correcting you and
helping you know better.
