How Does Humility Impact Knowledge Acquisition?

[fdesilva]

Humility makes one focus on what is not known and so keeps increasing ones knowledge. Pride makes one focus on what is known and thus stagnates ones knowledge.

 

[cronxeh]

Humility recognizes the knowledge of the unknown, while pride recognizes knowledge of the known.

 

[Mech_Engineer]

Humility makes you realize someone always knows more than you. Pride makes you think (perhaps erroneously) the number of people that know more than you is small.

 

[waht]

Humility is being aware of one's own ignorance. And pride is being aware of other people's ignorance.

 

[ThomasEdison]

The proud man can learn humility, but he will be proud of it.
