Four words I used to fear saying at the start of my career: “I do not know”

4 Words I feared saying at the start of my career: “I do not know…”

Nowadays, I still don’t use those words that often.

Because I also use:

  • I’m not sure…
  • I have no idea…
  • For the life of me…
  • I have no clue…
  • Dno…
  • Never heard of it…
  • Never worked with it…

I no longer fear saying “I do not know” anymore, because I realized that it is okay to not know everything.

In fact, you can’t know everything.

So, my fear of admitting my ignorance has evaporated, although I do add an important suffix to my admission of bafflement:

“I do not know… … But I can learn!”
