Excerpt from a Ben Greenfield YouTube video titled "3 Keys to Relationship Success." In this chunk Greenfield urges listeners to practice humility in relationships by saying "I don't know" more often and admitting when they are wrong, framing frequent admission of not knowing as evidence of intellectual growth.
I think more people could benefit from practicing these three things. First, say I don't know more. Admit when you're wrong. Set aside all pride and just say, I don't know. Practice saying it. A lot of us just need to learn to set our pride aside and not only say I don't know, but then admit when you're wrong. If you're really challenging yourself intellectually, you'll find that you say, I don't know a lot. And that's a good thing. That means you're growing.
