I Don't Know
I once asked the guy who interviewed me at the Space Telescope why he recommended me for the job. He said that when he asked a question, I was the only one who admitted that I didn't know the answer. Everyone else interviewed tried to bullshit him. Admitting you don't know is also important in Buddhism. It's important to have an open mind and the mind that thinks it already knows the answer is not open. Meditation is as much about unlearning as learning, realizing that what you were sure is the truth is nothing more than opinion.
