I have trying to live by this quote by Takefumi Hori; ‘I know nothing except the fact of my ignorance. ….. I believe is the key is to always be aware of one’s own ignorance.’ This mean always being aware that you do not know everything and establishing good questions, humbly, seeking knowledge and learning from other. I think this is one of the personal attributes that set me apart.
