Quote by Laurence J. Peter

A man doesn't know what he knows until he knows what he doesn't know.


A man doesn't know what he knows until he knows what he does

Summary

This quote suggests that self-awareness and knowledge require an understanding of one's own limitations and gaps in understanding. It highlights the idea that unless an individual recognizes and acknowledges their areas of ignorance or lack of knowledge, they cannot fully comprehend and appreciate what they already know. In essence, one cannot truly know themselves or the extent of their knowledge without recognizing the boundaries of their understanding.
