“Uncertainty also relieves us of our judgment of ourselves. Then we don’t know if we’re lovable or not; we don’t know how attractive we are; we don’t know how successful we could potentially become.

As the old adage goes, the man who believes he knows everything learns nothing. We cannot learn anything without first not knowing something.”
