I wanted to share with you a quote that I appreciate and use frequently in my life relationships as a listening criterion
Men are four faced to knowledge
- He who knows not and knows not that he knows not, is a fool ... shun him.
- He who knows not and knows that he knows not, is ignorant ... teach him.
- He who knows and knows not that he knows, is asleep ... wake him.
- He who knows and knows that he knows, is a wise man ... follow him.
Attributions:, Chinese Probverb Confucius
