He who knows nothing and knows he knows nothing, he is a scholar; teach him. He who knows something and thinks he knows nothing, he is unsure; enlighten him. He who knows something and knows he knows something, he is wise; follow him. -Bruce Lee (I'm kinda iffy about the first one).

The only the we know is that we don't know anything. Get over yourself Not to be overly philosophical here, but the more I learn, the more I realize I don’t know shit.

Have been a fan/student for 20 years. Ask Wayne to tell the story about over hearing his daughters, and the question "would you wear shoes if you had no feet? " Love that story! I always tell that Story when talking about Dr Dyer. David: Dr Dyer is Great! Have been a fan/student for 20 years.

I know lots, sure, but what's the point of comparing that knowledge to others or feeling burdened by it? They people I would feel superior to (if I was that type of smart) don't ask me to feel burdened. I'm the one who would create that and it is not helpful to me, so why even bother worrying about it? There is no burden unless you create one. Just enjoy the moment. Even if your moment is explaining a concept to someone who doesn't understand it or keep your mouth shut and say you don't know.

Because if I "know" a thing, there is no reason to explore it, to find out more about it and to question my concepts.... This is why sometimes it is said that we will never fully understand as long as we cling to our knowledge. During our long passage through life, we learn lots of things which may be useful or not. How relaxing it is to forget all this from time to time, to become a child again and look at the world with big, bright and curious eyes as if we see it for the first time... (which actually might be true...) Personally, I think knowledge becomes a burden whenever we come to the point where we think we “know” something.

In fact, knowledge is power. It's more about how you use that knowledge and power and how receptive you are to learning new things...we all are learning everyday. It is also about how someone carries themselves, not as much about the words they use. Noah--good to see ya on here ;).. Roxyd--so true about how big egos usually indicate insecurities!

It can be a burden to have knowledge that common sense and courtesy would require you to share as circumstances arise but frankly, it's really annoying to always have a few folks who find it easier to ask you than to look it up and/or learn for themselves. They will ask you the same questions over and over again because it's the path of least resistance. My brother refers to as being the "go-to guy" and a former co-worker calls it being the "Shell Answer Man." It means that people ask you because they know that you are most likely to know the correct answer and to help them or at least WHO to go to if you are not the responsible party. The companion to this is a good memory: I have a good one and I remember things in the context in which I learned them - it's why many things stick in my mind that others miss and I, in turn, teach things in context - never as an isolated answer. I don't consider that a gift but a skill that was cultivated by my parents and teachers and mentors and that they taught me to continue to develop. A gift implies that you didn't have to work for it or to take care of it - you don't even have to deserve it...it's just "there." Calling something a gift also implies that if you don't think that you have it now, that you can not acquire it on your own - meaning that there's no use in trying. That goes against what David is teaching us. Learning new things, new skills, new attitudes takes time and a lot of work. Some of us learn some things faster than others - some of us get lucky the first time out and it makes us a little bolder the next time. Someone else may get thwarted in their first effort and it takes a while to screw up the courage to get out there and try again.
