Know It Alls...
Having Answers for EVERYTHING
"I try to get rid of people who always confidently answer questions about which they don't have any real knowledge." - Charlie Munger
When people have a hard time admitting when they don't know something, how can they be trusted? It shows what character you have when you face vulnerability and honesty in the name of making yourself look "bad". This shows humanness, human nature, and we all understand that is the truth in life. It is what we all connect on and when you hide it, our intuitions know you are not being honest, trying to be something your not.
It would be better for us to find people with more intellectual honesty. Being around people like that can only fog our own patterns and goals with the chance of unknown risks, as character is being hidden.
Charlie is interested in knowing what is unknown as in knowing what is known. The opinion of someone who can't tell the difference is useless.
What wisdom in this sentence above. It reminds me of a few of Charlie's other quotes. He really flips things around to get a totally different perspective, one that we all very much need. Such as:
"The more you know you don't know, the more you are willing to learn."
I have found now when people have an answer for everything or they never mess up, have any set backs, tells you a story. They are not telling you the whole picture and this says they are not being honest, so be careful. There is not authentication here and I must take what I hear with a grain a salt.
There are many subtle hints that people give off that do give specific intel on how that person is conducting them self. This can help you steer away from un-wanting companions, business partners and even lovers.
I find it very important to stay around the most beneficial people all the time. Weeding out people that do more harm then good for is can be essential to your progression in life.
Wishing every Steemian the very best! Have a fantastic day!!

"The more you know you don't know, the more you are willing to learn."
Absolutely, Strong words you have got there.
@koinov, thank you for making my day, this couldn't have been written any better.
Completely agree. And it's not only the way people are, it's also that their ways can rub off on you just by association. The best thing is to associate with those who you look upto, who are humble about what they know, and willing to learn what they don't know.
Yea the rubbing off happens far too easily to us. When we surround with the right people, life is so great and progress is rapid!
True. And if such people are not around, then progress alone rather than have them delay you!
