A wise man once told me that the greatest knowledge one can have is an understanding of what they do not know. There isn’t enough time in ones lifetime to learn everything, so learning when to rely on experts in the fields you lack knowledge in is key. Learning which expert to stake your confidence in is the trickier part and may require enough study in the field to have an opinion on who you wish to trust.

Ford didn’t actually know more about building automobiles than anyone else. But he knew how to hire all the best engineers, who combined, DID.

I’ve always liked this way of looking at it. Thanks Grandpa.

You always have had complete knowledge of anything about yourself, you're the authority on what you would like to do and what you would not like to do and whilst your actions can be overpowered, your sentiments cannot and whilst they may be unwise, they are yours and are there regardless. No academic qualification is required to declare: I do not wish to do this, or I do wish to do this. You can walk around feeling like a complete know-it-all with regard to anything to do with you, personally. You are the only authority on your feelings and sometimes others will challenge it, they will say no you feel what I say because that's what it looks like to me, and you can say, up yours, it's not what you say, it's what I say when it comes to me.

So in this, you are a complete authority. The one and only authority.

However what you think you know of anything about everything else is nothing more than a falsifiable hypothesis. And that includes everything, everything, everything in the entire universe that isn't you.

The more I learn the less I know.

i can remember back when i was 25 when i thought that i knew everything,but there was one thing that i didnt learn until i was almost 40....

i was an IDIOT,when i was 25!!

Experimentation, experience, application, discourse?


And sometimes that's not good enough, and you need to commit to giving an answer, or to an answer, and live with the consequences.


Not without a direct purpose for the learning where it can be consistently practiced into motivating your beliefs and behavior, your reality?

Question everything. And don't always believe the answers.

I know everything. I just can't remember it all at he same time.

comprehension and reasoning skills.

if you posses either trait, you can figure enough out to get some kind of grasp of what it is you're dealing with.

I hope not. I cannot imagine life where nothing else can be learned ....

None of us have all the answers,we just work best with what knowledge we possess..It would be nice to have all the knowledge obtainable but that's just not reality..It's sort of sad to think that once we have obtained all the knowledge that our years allowed we will probably look back in knowing we would have probably done things differently..


So goes the old adage "if I knew then what I know now" ..it's just one of those things that just doesn't seem fair..but it is what it is..and I haven't found anything that will change that ..somethings can't be learned ..they have to be experienced..and before you know it..time has run out..all that one can do with the knowledge is pass it on ..so that others may benefit ...

aint that the truth for us all. You think you're giving opinions about other people when you're young, without realizing you're only talking about yourself, acting like an authority on others when you know nothing about them. The arrogance of youth means this the most I think.

Something that's only 1 foot in breadth sincerely doesn't know about any more than one foot of a mile but if their whole world is a foot across, they know the whole world as far as they know. They can't know for the rest of that mile they're just wrong, wrong, wrong

Ask why you Young Jedi?

Does Learning Everything Make You Good at Nothing?

Blessings.

It's like the Limbaugh University for Advanced Conservative Studies... there are NO degrees because the learning never stops.
