Naivetes over time: In my 20s... I thought I knew what I was doing and was ready to take on the world with my fresh expertise. In my 30s... I thought I knew what I was doing and was ready to take on the world with my fresh expertise. In my 40s...

You may know much about certain fields, but that does not qualify you for other fields. Having a child does not make you an expert on children. Being able to program a computer does not make you an expert on computers or computer programming. There is no top tier, no limit to knowledge that provides you a comfortable mountain peak to sit upon. Do not accept limitations. Do not believe the limitations other people conjure. Experiment, even in the face of rejection, and you may learn something new and unrelated to your original experiment, or you may prove the know-it-alls wrong. Being right is as useless in the social world as having ideas. Both are mental drugs. Everything I said is both useful and useless. Maybe I can sum it up as, "Approach life with humility." I fail at this. Good luck!
