Random:

It goes back to what he who had left said, "What do you not know?"
I replied, "How do I know what I do not know?"
He responded, "Well, it is important to realized what you do not know."
He paused a little and continued, "... and make sure you know it."

I agreed with what this brilliant mind had said. However, to be that person that leverages and applies these points is a different story.

There I am, today, trying to explain something. Then there they are, trying to explain to me about what I should do, without fully listened first or understood what I am doing. Should I have cut them off, and told them the real deal? They are in the a hurry to talk, but not listen. I am always listening, but talk slowly.

I do know why these people do not listen. They are always in a rush. There is no time. Not to listen or understand. They did not say anything wrong, but it did not applied here. What I do not know is how to make them slow down and listen carefully. I do not know is how few individuals come up with a noteworthy opinion or questions before thinking it thoroughly. Yet, most just said random stuff.

I realized what I do not know is why so few people are being honest.
I realized what I do not know is what I expect out of my life.
I realized what I do not know is how to other people truly happy.
I realized what I do not know is when I can ever truly be myself.
I realized what I do not know is who is really behind that mask.
I realized what I do not know is where all these words will lead to...

I understood the message of the brilliant mind, but never able to figure him out as a person.
