"I Don't Know"

Have you ever met people who have all the answers? If they are uncertain, they just continue talking. Trying to correct them brings added words and lengthy conversations that seem to lead to dead ends.

There is a cure to this seemingly endless cycle. Like many cures, it is not always easy. In this case it takes character and humility. One of the greatest challenges when talking with one another is the ability to use the words: “I don’t know.” It is amazing how helpful these words are to a conversation. They make room for others’ input and prevent you from looking silly.
