Summary
This quote suggests that having a mindset of arrogance or overconfidence can hinder one's ability to acquire knowledge. When someone believes they already know everything about a certain subject, they close themselves off to learning and new information. True learning can only occur when individuals remain open-minded, acknowledge their own limitations, and approach every situation with humility. It is the acknowledgment of our own ignorance that allows us to actively seek knowledge and grow intellectually.
