Tahfifah: On 'Knowing'

No ordinary human being knows everything in this world. Have the humility to admit that you don't know certain thing. It is absolutely OK if you don't know certain thing now as long as you make the initiative to find it out later. No doubt teachers (lecturers, too) will always pressure you by saying, "It is so basic. You should know it."
It seems that everything is basic to them. Please understand that teachers are paid to do that - to tell you what you do not know. Anyway you should not be demoralized and you should have the wisdom to comprehend that ... "knowing what you do not know is part of knowing". Nobody knows everything".
