Thanks for sharing, Rasmus! I especially enjoyed your narration.

This really struck a chord with me. In my younger years, both in educational and professional settings, I often hesitated to ask questions for fear of seeming uninformed. Yet, I've learned that these questions frequently uncover important nuances - ones that others are often quietly wondering about too.

If you're seeking clarification, chances are you're not alone. Embracing "I don't know" isn't just okay — it's essential for learning and growth. After all, there's nothing stupid about being hungry to learn and improve.

Thank you Rohan!

I was the same way. It’s a trait I’ve been working to improve. Nowadays, I’m much more eager to seek clarification.

It helps both in terms of acquiring knowledge and, but also in managing expectations.

Thank you for the promote this week Rasmus!

I know a few people who will never say that they don’t know. It’s quite stressful to be around them.

Whatever subject you’re talking about, they already know the answers and dish out advice.🤦🏽‍♀️

I would much rather hang out with people who have the authenticity to say that they don’t know and be willing to learn something new.

Thank you for the interesting read Selda!

Yeah, some people always think their advice is amazing.

I’m also more interested by people who don’t automatically assume they know and want to learn.

Awesome article Rasmus, I can see you are becoming more confident with your writing!

Definitely agree with you that admitting when you don’t know something is empowerment.

Nobody knows everything.

Good job man, really enjoyed reading that!

Thank you for reading Stefano!

Yeah, I'm starting to focus on not holding back as much as I might have done previously, finding a more interesting voice.

It really is freeing to be able to acknowledge it. As you say, we can't know everything.
