123 Ignorance

If I want something and don’t see it and walk on, I am Ignorant.
If I want something and do see it and walk on, then I’m ‘Stupid’.

The first thing to do is determine if you are ‘Stupid’ or just Ignorant.

If it’s simple Ignorance on your part, there is absolutely no down side to admit that you don’t know that particular thing.
And anyone who says you have to know everything before you first learn it is definitely Ignorant (and possibly even ‘stupid’)!
Even if you’re saying this to yourself.

The next time you’re hard on yourself for not knowing something or getting it wrong, first determine if you are ‘Stupid’ or just Ignorant.
Then act accordingly.
