The Empty Cup Principle

Through some other searchword, I came on this weblog and I found a nice article about The Empty Cup Principle. It defines in an excellent way what I wrote about earlier. It is not good to know everything at any given time. Your mind will overflow like a full cup of tea.

“We can react to new opportunities (call them challenges if you must) with much greater success if we use the empty cup principle.”
