A Quote To Remember

“I don’t know what I don’t know. You learn every day of your life. If you’re not learning, you’re doing something wrong. And I like to walk into the room being the dumbest person in the room so I can learn the most from people who have better experience, better knowledge than me.” – David Hrizak
