Little knowledge

  • We live in a world where there is information overload. We have little knowledge about everything but comprehensive knowledge of nothing. Remember that complete knowledge is power.

  • A little knowledge is dangerous and can mislead people into thinking that they are more expert than they truly are, leading to mistakes.

  • So, keep an open mind, review your actions, value others’ opinions, experiment, but don’t try to learn everything. Fail often, acquire new skills, ask questions and ask for help when you need it. Just don’t be too cocky if you know something.
