Everybody has to learn at some point, but when starting out there’s a tendency to shy away from new opportunities for fear of showing inexperience. Freeman Dyson, 88-years strong and still changing the world, says you need to embrace your ignorance:
Advice to people at the beginning of their careers: do not imagine that you have to know everything before you can do anything. My own best work was done when I was most ignorant. Grab every opportunity to take responsibility and do things for which you are unqualified.
Okay.
