Tell us one habit of yours which makes you Thankful-Todays Prompt
How many times have you been misled when you asked for directions, because the person giving them to you didn’t know them but was too afraid/egoistic to say, ‘I don’t know’
How many times have you, or someone you know, missed a chance at something because you didn’t know, but were too afraid to say so?
Today I am thankful that I never shy away from saying, ‘I don’t know’, when I don’t.
Except for Google, and mother-in-laws, there is hardly any person in this world who knows it all, but there are many who think they do. Saying you do not know something/of something is considered a sign of weakness and foolishness, for most. So people fumble through life, sometimes missing opportunities while other times following others or directions that may not lead them where they want to go.
As for me, I believe that when I am honest enough to say, ‘I don’t know’ I learn, and that is how I grow.

That’s an interesting habit to be thankful for.We rarely like saying I don’t know.It’s like an admission of failure.It takes a lot if strength to admit that we don’t know something
Thank you so much for writing for Thankful Thursdays.It’s always a pleasure reading about thankfulness.
Congratulations on being our featured winner at #Thankful Thursdays.Stay thankful.Stay blessed
I admire honest people like you. There is nothing wrong in not knowing stuff. In fact I can’t stand people who pretend they are experts in everything they embark on. Well written.
Hahaha, mother in laws, funny. It’s always good to know when to say No and I don’t know. Keep it up 🙂
I dont know is as important as I know. We cant take that we dont know however, if we admit I think lot of things can be easy. Psycologically we dont put pressure unecessarily
You don’t always need to be the one with the answers. Pretending to know something you don’t puts a lot of unnecessary pressure on your shoulders. Admitting that you don’t know what to do next is healthy and even empowering–not because uncertainty feels good, but admitting to uncertainty shows that you know your limitations and you’re comfortable with them.
Yes it took me a lot of time to realise that there is no shame in accepting the fact that you dont know. I rather realised that you learn more when you say that you dont know . Thanks for raising this point
So true. I say I don’t know too!
“Except Google and mother-in-laws” xDxD
It is a good habit to be thankful for Mayuri and I agree with u that its ok to admit if you don’t know it. Nobody is perfect and we learn by admitting this.
That is indeed a good habit, Mayuri.
I am not ashamed to say I don’t know too.
And that Google and mother-in-laws? Geee 😀 😀
Thank you, Shalini 🙂
