Expose your ignorance AND confront your ignorance

If you want to reassure them, it should also be through your ability to learn, not by pretending to know what you don't. In this way, your reputation will be based on your ability to learn, not on what you already know. The easiest way to expose ignorance is to ask questions.

People often disguise their ignorance by pretending to know a great deal about their field. But they forget that knowledge is acquired by knowing one's own ignorance. Knowing your ignorance, and then study hard to improve your knowledge reserve, is a craftsman needs to have and cultivate the basic quality. Because no one can know all the knowledge in their field, it is through their own ignorance and facing their own ignorance that you can truly achieve the omniscience you need to achieve. It takes a certain amount of courage to recognize and face your ignorance correctly. But in the show you will find that often standing on top of the people they will be very open to accepting their own ignorance, and open to learning. Often it is the people who are afraid to face their ignorance that have little knowledge of their own territory.

Pick a skill, tool, or technique and actively fill in the knowledge gaps associated with it. Do it in the way that works best for you. For some, the best approach may be to read all the literature and FAQs available to get an overview. Others may feel that building a "crunchy toy" is the most effective way to understand something. Whichever method works for you, don't forget to ask around with your "peers" and mentors to see if anyone has already mastered the skill and is willing to share what they've learned. Sometimes others may be learning the skill, and you'll progress faster by working with them. At some point, you will have reached a satisfactory level of competence in this new area, and you can decide whether it is more productive to dig deeper or to turn your attention to other skill gaps. With only 24 hours in a day, you can't grind every skill to a very high level, so you have to learn to make the necessary tradeoffs between them.

It's not just about conquering previously unknown peaks, it's about carving out a new path, step by step.
