The Courage to Question Yourself

Admitting what you don’t know isn’t weakness—it’s wisdom. Scientists and innovators thrive on uncertainty, because each gap in knowledge is a doorway to learning.

How to Practice Intellectual Humility

• Say 'I might be wrong' when exploring new ideas—it opens space for insight.
• Actively seek out views that challenge your own assumptions.
• Treat every conclusion as temporary, pending further evidence.

Why It Makes You Smarter

Intellectual humility strengthens critical thinking by reducing bias and increasing curiosity. When you stop defending what you think you know, real learning begins.
