Thought for the day
How willing are you to be wrong.
Are you the type of person that defends your position, even though you know in the back of your head that you don't have the knowledge to defend that position.
I love to find something I don't know yet, this maps to accepting that I am wrong about things all the time. The realization, that not knowing something yet means by definition I'm wrong about that thing; has increased my already insatiable appetite for learning.
Not knowing about something is surely very different than being wrong about it. Being wrong to me means not having, or believing, correct and established knowledge about that subject.
I am always open for new input and never try to bluff my way past an unknown.
Most people will have an opinion on something despite not knowing anything about it....
Having a partial knowledge of something, of course will allow the opportunity for someone to form an opinion about it. But not knowing anything, and yet still forming such an opinion, does seem a bit out of place to me.
