Related to my recent “Where I’m Ignorant” post from a few days ago is a quote from psychologist Elizabeth Krumrei Mancuso that relates learning to humility. In short:
Learning requires the humility to realize one has something to learn.
We’ve all seen people that lack the humility to know that they’re not the best, which is what leads to the inspiration to work to learn more. Donald Trump is always a solid example of that, though I’m sure you have people you know personally that fit that description as well.
Admitting we’re lacking can be a tough thing to do, but it’s ultimately the only way you’ll ever improve.
