If you want to be good at anything, you need to treat each thing you learn as being new, and only then make the connections with your knowledge library.

There are 4 types of information:
1. You know what you know
2. You know what you don't know
3. You don't know what you know
4. You don't know what you don't know

I'll take each of them apart.

You know what you know

It's clear that when you know what you know, you are confident and you can do anything based on what you know. You can estimate better when you estimate what you know, and you know it. The only issue is that you may become cocky.

You know what you don't know

The situation changes when you don't know something, and you know that you don't know. You understand that you need to learn something. You know what are the key terms to search for in Google, and so you want to bring this unknown into the first one. You want to make the unknown known. How do you do that? Well... not by copy-pasting but by understanding it and by redoing it yourself.

You don't know what you know

At this step, you don't know what you know. You have experience in some field, or you were forced to learn something all by yourself so you don't care that you learned that. So, you underestimate yourself. And you see this, only when the other people around you bring you compliments. You blush, you thank them, and you move on. Why? With this information you have the power to help others, it means that you know something, and you can use that to grow, but you are ignoring yourself.

You don't know what you don't know

Well... things got real. Now, there are some weird things that you don't know, that you don't know. Here, the majority of fears are created. You can be anyone or anything on this planet. Yet, because you don't know, what you don't know, you fear learning what you don't know. To begin working at this level, you must concentrate on finding the key terms that you need to search for in Google. Basically, to find and learn the things that you don't know. You want to move this into the 2nd level so that you transform this into "know what you don't know".

So, next time don't just "google it" and "copy-paste" it.

When you search for something that you don't know, first of all, take a deep breath, wait for a second, and try to understand the existing or possible solutions. Then redo it all by yourself.
