"The only thing I know, is that I know nothing"

I have always loved this sentence, assigned to Socrates. Unfortunately I have never read on source, but the beauty inside it makes me feel amazed. As I shared with you in the later post, I return to the path on searching for knowledge, and it's really amazing how this thought fits perfectly.

The more I read and go on classes, be it live action or recorded ones, the more I get sure that is so much to learn. And at this point we always have at least these two choices: give up, because it will be impossible to learn everything that it is to be learned, or realize that everything, to be learned, demands effort and time.

So let me share with you my daily search for the holly grail. As everyone full of desire to learn it all, I go from lesson to lesson, sometimes changing subjects, for later returning to the one I started. Besides having the urge to get all the knowledge available I always come back on thinking about what I really want, and where I want to arrive.

It's so easy to get lost, when there are so many amazing paths to go, but there is this magical tool, that can make us succeed: objective. I know why I came back on learning infosec, for example, but I also know some things that I don't want to do or learn. As the multiple choices get in front of me, I have to choose between going wrong, sometimes letting the webmarketing be my driver, or sometimes even stop my drive, go back a little, and have the certainty that I am still on my way.

It's not so simple, I know, but it is something like this. For example, as I write this text at this exactly moment, I have to be honest with you that sometimes I do not have all the worlds, as a lack of practice on writing in English. But what was my first kick on this goal? Wasn't it exactly practicing my thoughts and writing in English?

And there goes another tool: patience. Like when I am learning on my daily path, I sometimes have to stop writing, looking for the write word, make some adjustments, control my willing to stop, and go on. That's something that took me time to learn; we have to understand that good things may have to wait for the time to make than happy, while you continue to put you efforts on it.

Like written in the title, you have to know, that you know nothing, but knowing it, makes you certain about one little thing: you won't know everything! So, why get crazy about it?

I will keep my journey going on, slowly sometimes, other times having to take a break, but moving forward. You can too, just have to try. You don't need to get it all in one day, and you will probably not. But you can for sure do one step each day, and, thinking about this blog, this one is just one step more.

I am sure that I have already gotten my drop of practice and knowledge today, after this text completed! See you in the next one!
