The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing

A classic line by Socrates.

This line reminds oneself to be humble and keep our feet to the ground. Learning is a lifelong process and there is nothing more shameful than to be a smart-ass and pretend to know everything.

Always enter into a discussion/meeting/lecture/class with a mind like a sponge to absorb everything possible and then we can later filter/analyze information later on.

During a conversation, practice the 'listen to understand then to be understood' approach.
