The greatest risk is to ignore your own ignorance; the greatest error is to be paralyzed by it.

To regard partial knowledge as if it were total knowledge is to conclude with finality, act with blindness, move with fanaticism — fall into the abyss and gloating about it all the way to the fatal crash.  Only the recognition of how much you don’t know will give you the tools to turn ignorance into knowledge, and do better in whatever you are doing.

On the other end of this stretch we find the folks whose ignorance has stalled their ride, spiralled their motion, circled their logic, and while they appear in motion, they are actually treading on the same spot. 

 Where are you?  Are you overconfident, quashing your ignorance, or are you frozen by your “maybes,” drowning in your ‘further studies’, hypnotized by the uncertainty ahead?  If you are  ignorance balanced — spend your best energy keeping it that way; if you are off your ignorance balance — first find which side do you incline towards, then spend you best energy undoing the bent. 

All other risks are mitigated if you are ignorance-balance, all other errors are minimized if you are ignorance healthy.  And to the extent that you find yourself off that balance point that is the extent where either risks or errors spring galore across your path.  For my personal take:  my ignorance is my religion.
