1.Not Knowing an Answer
This might be the dumbest thing for which we tend to apologize.
I used to do this a lot in school, I always felt ashamed to ask a question or to respond to one if I didn’t know the answer. I was afraid that I would’ve made a fool of myself and that people would think I’m stupid.
And I was stupid, indeed, but not because I didn’t know that answer, but because I had this idea in my head. And that hold me back from learning a lot of things earlier than I did eventually.
There is nothing to be ashamed of if you don’t know an answer, nobody knows all the answers. And asking a question when you’re in doubt it’s the only way of learning new things, so you’d better start doing it because as you well know:
Knowledge is power.
