Wisdom

Knowing About is Not the Same as Truly Knowing.

There are two kinds of knowing, one broad and one deep. Knowing about something by having a general awareness is much different than a deep understanding gained by education, application, and experience. Being aware of something does not equate to understanding. It’s critical to acknowledge the difference to ourselves.
