Are you able to say, "I don't know."? Can you admit your 'ignorance'? Most people can't. By admitting that they don't have any or enough knowledge of a certain fact, happening or situation, they believe they demean themselves. They don't realize that the opposite is true. When you insist on trying to convince another of your incorrect statement or opinion, you end up making a fool of yourself. There is no shame in not knowing something. No-one knows everything. Unfortunately, in our competitive world, many have grown to believe that such admission would be a sign of weakness, of inferiority. They need to feel "superior" at all costs.
