About this quote

Be teachable. You don't know everything, and you're not always right. Say it aloud and let pride loosen its grip. Admitting limits is the fastest way to learn and get better. Stop defending certainty—ask sharp questions, accept clear feedback, and turn small course corrections into real progress.

When to use it

• Before a hard conversation at work, repeat the line to yourself and listen more than you speak; take one clear action from the feedback.
• When learning a new skill, use it as a rule: ask for corrections, try them immediately, and measure what changes.
• If you find yourself arguing to be right, pause and ask a sincere question—identify what you don’t know and test it.
• After a setback, write down what you missed, admit the gap, and pick one habit to fix the next time.
