"It is impossible to learn that which one thinks one already knows."


Epictetus
1st century AD Greek philosopher

Minds close when perceived knowledge enters.

Doubt is a good thing.

Do you question yourself enough?

    Doubt after appropriate preparation, no, but if you know you haven't prepared correctly, yes.

    Along with "measure twice, cut once" it helps to insure that we will do the right thing the first time.

    Who said "make sure you're right and then go ahead"? Supposedly Davy Crockett.
