Agreed all around.

I didn't say I agreed with the article, haha. ;)

Constantly questioning your beliefs can lead to constantly doubting everything. Over time there is risk of only believing in doubts.

Developing a healthy curiosity that tests, clarifies and strengthens your current understanding is that.

If there's one thing I would have added to the post above, it would be that Smart people know that developing a correct mindset for the journey of learning is far more important than the destination of feeling that they have "arrived" with their level of understanding.

Too many people, think they're done once they arrive at their conclusions, or hang onto them so dearly and fanatically based on all the work they've done. Smart people, for me, are ready to piss everything they've believed into the wind every day because of possibility.
