It is better to presume ignorance and invite learning than to assume sufficient knowledge and risk the consequent blindness. When you are tightly boxed in or cornered - all too often by your own stubborn and fixed adherence to some unconsciously worshiped assumptions - all there is to help you is what you have not yet learned. It is necessary and helpful to be, and in some ways to remain, a beginner. No one unwilling to be a foolish beginner can learn. It is necessary even for the most accomplished (but who wishes to accomplish still more) to retain identification with the as yet unsuccessful; to appreciate the striving toward competence; to carefully and with true humility subordinate him or herself to the current game; and to develop the knowledge, self-control, and discipline necessary to make the next move.
