What do you know?

"Not Much!!!" seem to be a standard reply you get from most of the people, which includes me too. Most of the time I just say it from the tip of my toungue with out even thinking the meaning of these words that I have learned in my early years of American Life. But when I think a little bit about it, I can see how appropriate that answer is.

No matter how smart you are or how much formal education you may have, there will always be more to learn. There is only ONE that knows all and as you are very well aware that ONE is not you. (If you really think you are the ONE, I don't know why you are reading this blog, as you should already know what's in here). Accepting this simple fact, that we do not know much, makes us humble students of life in pursuit of knowledge.

I think every one should really ask themselves this question every day. And by accepting the fact that we do not know much, we should make a commitment to learn some thing new every day. Learning will improve your knowledge which in turn will help you feel confident and understand other people and cultures better.

If you are not sure what to learn every day:
  • Just look around you and ask yourself, How does that work?
  • Think about how it may be working in its current design.
  • Take one more step and think how you would have designed it, if you had that idea first.
