Be a "learn-it-all" student, not a "know-it-all" expert.

Referring to yourself as an 'expert' in any field assumes the position that you have reached your fullest potential. It implies you have attained a thrilling pinnacle in your career and that your thirst for knowledge in a particular subject has been quenched.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella suggests instead of a know-it-all expert, we should consider being a learn-it-all student. That involves rapid testing of hypothesis, trying out new things, keeping those that work and moving beyond those that don't.

The brightest people in the world keep the humility of the student mindset. They listen and deploy new ideas rapidly and quickly discard past ideas when they are no longer working.
