“Every mind was made for growth, for knowledge, and its nature is sinned against when it is doomed to ignorance.” William Ellery Channing

Awareness is the most important aspect as it helps you to explore new areas and learn new things. One should be updated with all kinds of information whether it is related to your field or not so that you can discuss and talk over the same within your group. Some people have a tendency to ignore things which is not at all a good sign. One should always focus on the areas which they ignore and try to work on it. If you are familiar with your ignorance you will be able to discover a number of fresh ideas which did not strike you before. You can gain knowledge only if you feel that there is much more that you can learn.
