The worst thing you can be in a world where knowledge is invaluable economic capital, is to be a know it all.

This is a neutralizing factor and on all accounts destroys many opportunities at success.

How to recognize a Know-It-All

Such behaviors of staunch rigidity ruin relationships both business and personal.

People only invest when there is an exchange.

The exchange must be equally beneficial.

Remember there is something to learn from everyone and something everyone can learn from you

The key to continued success is expansion of one’s knowledge.

This indicates that the worst thing a person can be is, “unteachable”.

We have never and never will possess thorough knowledge of everything.

Knowledge is inexhaustible.

As opined by J. Robert Oppenheimer, ” No man should escape our universities without knowing how little he knows.“ 

To assume a position of untouchable intellectual prowess is foolhardy at best.

Every time one disavows the absorption of new knowledge on the basis of what is already known, one automatically misses out on an opportunity.

This is the principle of opportunity cost at work. Opportunity cost is the expense of a foregone opportunity.

The wisest person realizes that the only thing  that they know of with  certainty is that they really don’t know anything.
