There are some areas… many areas actually… where I accept my competency of knowledge is limited. If there’s a circle of what experts know, I may take up a few dots within it.

In a few areas, I know my circle is pretty full.

The danger is when I’m in a circle where I’m actually a dot, but think I’m more. Those are the circles we are bad decisions are made and it will consequences happen. And the more confident I feel, the more tragic the outcome.

The worst feeling is finding out how little I actually know, but it’s the best way to learning what I need.

The trick, of course, is accepting I don’t know as much as I think I do… or that maybe, the circle of competence has changed and what I had is no longer useful.
