It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows.


- Epictetus








You cannot learn if you believe there is nothing left for you to learn.

Be it a skill, craft, or just general knowledge, You cannot learn if you believe nothing is left to learn. No matter what you pursue in life, keep yourself hungry to learn. Choose always to have a beginner’s mind, constantly looking for another angle. Get comfortable with being wrong, and relish it when it happens.
