Have you ever felt embarrassed by your ignorance on a particular subject? Or been asked, "You're not aware of this?" in a tone that implies you should be all-knowing? Acquiring certain knowledge is essential. When I realized how much I'd missed out on due to my lack of knowledge on some things, it was a revelatory moment. Thankfully, education and innate wisdom have helped me bridge the gap.

Knowledge is undoubtedly power, we live in an era where technology and education are advancing at a stimulating pace. Information disseminates rapidly – like witnessing the world unfold in real time. New trends emerge and are swiftly taken over by newer ones. With just a smartphone and internet connection, we have access to a vast array of information at our fingertips.

The adage "learning is a lifelong process" rings true; we continue to acquire knowledge throughout our lives, and no one knows it all. That's why expanding our knowledge base makes us less misinformed. We often find ourselves in challenging situations, only to realize later that possessing certain knowledge could have prevented them.

Imagine a world where no one knew about coronavirus prevention in 2020 or other critical discoveries. People capitalize on their knowledge, and ignorance can render us clueless about its significance. I'd heard about Bitcoin but didn't take it seriously until I gained a deeper understanding of it and its potential benefits. The question that sparked in my mind was “Had I known?".
That's when I grasped the significance of knowledge.

I imagine what is like to lack knowledge of something very crucial, it will be a depriving state. You don't need to be all-knowing, but embracing every opportunity to learn is vital for growth. There's always more to explore, not knowing first does not make you less of a person but acquiring the knowledge will make you better.
