I’ve met so many people that cannot accept that they aren’t experts at things. I call myself dumb all the time and people tell me don’t say that. I take pride in not knowing though. I don’t have this advanced vocabulary everyone claims to have, I’m just a stupid guy that’s always curious and I’m so happy that most people I talk to don’t feel the need to compete with me. I see that as a gift, just be a person man. We all just trying to figure it out.

When it comes to the sentence "i don't know" it still amazes me the fact that some people don't have the "balls" to say when it comes to really not knowing something. I quite don't understand the deal of being afraid to say this specific sentence because of the fear of being "judged" or to be seen as "uneducated". In my life, i have encountered many people who i either chocked or "impressed" them with how confident i am with saying the " i don't know ". And let me tell you that those who judged me badly or mocked me for saying were never the kind of people i aspire to be or let's just say i wouldn't trade my life to have theirs, while those who instead of mocking me they educated me and were more than happy to help me to understand what i don't know and even guide me to have a better perspective about the subject are the people who i aspire to be and they are quite successful in their lives. So if you are looked down by people around you for not knowing something maybe you are not in the right environment to seek improvement and it would be better to change it and be around those who are more than willing to see you thrive.

Lately I’ve been alarmed when talking to others that they think they’re experts on things they don’t really know much about. And also think they’re experts on things they know a lot about! I think it’s important to know that we don’t know everything and our convictions, whilst important to have them, can be proven wrong at any time. This breeds innovation and keeps you in a state of always learning. Stay humble in the face of all that is unknowable. Remember Plato said “I know that I know nothing.”

Don’t be that person. Mf got a banana and a Celsius, something is going down and they need to make a quick exit. You got mad vegetables anyway, let the cashier breathe a little before they struggle to remember how to ring up them green onions you copping.

I have no context at all but I love it. Feels like I’m missing out but that’s alright it’s just good to hear somebody having a big ol belly laugh and enjoying this shit while we’re breathing.

I just want to show love to the ELITE Bagel. Whoever was the freak that was like “hear me out let’s put blueberry’s in the dough”, I know they were looking at you crazy but you knew you had a hit on your hands.
