I wanted to share with you a quote that I appreciate and use frequently in my life relationships as a listening criterion

Men are four faced to knowledge

  • He who knows not and knows not that he knows not, is a fool ... shun him.
  • He who knows not and knows that he knows not, is ignorant ... teach him.
  • He who knows and knows not that he knows, is asleep ... wake him.
  • He who knows and knows that he knows, is a wise man ... follow him.

Variations

  • He who knows not, and knows not that he knows not, is a fool - shun him.
  • He who knows not and knows not that he knows not is a fool; avoid him.

  • He who knows not, and knows that he knows not, is a child - teach him.
  • He who knows not and knows that he knows not is a student; teach him.
  • He who knows not, and knows that he knows not is simple. Teach him
  • He who knows not, and knows that he knows not, is willing...teach him.
  • He who knows not and knows that he knows not, is ignorant ... teach him

  • He who knows, and knows not that he knows, is asleep - wake him.
  • He who knows, and knows not that he knows, is asleep...awaken him.

  • He who knows, and knows that he knows, is a wise man - follow him.
  • He who knows, and knows that he knows is wise. Follow him.

I hope that a reflection on these four profiles will help you too
