Understand what is considered normal good behavior.
1. “I don’t know.”
2. “Let’s find out.”
3. “Gee, that’s interesting.”
Human beings are attracted to each other when ignorance is in pursuit of deeper understanding.
Unfortunately, sometimes when we arrive ignorant, we decide to hold a barn dance to celebrate our deficiency. Worse, we call our ignorance “greater understanding that has not yet been fathomed by the masses.”
But when we get together as people and share a common “I don’t know,” it opens the door to “let’s find out.”
Then, in the midst of finding out, we form deep, meaningful relationships. Therefore, when we do uncover some mystery, we can hug each other and say, “Gee, that’s interesting.”
Otherwise, we get stuck in a logjam of personality quirks which make us desirable to only a few.
Understand the “Know Flow”
A. “I know it all.” (Good luck.)
B. “I know lots of things.” (Be prepared to be challenged.)
C. “I know certain things.” (Your information needs to be spot-on.)
D. “I know this.” (Please be humble if you find out you’re wrong.)
E. “I don’t know.” (The freakin’ door to wisdom.)
