Eternal Sophomore Nerd
Doesn't sound flattering in a few ways. Why then, did I pick it?
I have a few reasons behind it, I'll share some of them:
Never stop learning
Sophomore, as you undoubtedly know, comes from Greek and means "wise-fool."
As one of those folks that feel that life long learning is a fantastic personality trait I'm always pleased by those silly quotes:
Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance. - Confucius
The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination. - Albert Einstein
One that I saw but cannot recall who said it or the exact wording:
The true master will admit that he cannot know everything.
In line with the Confucius one above.
So to put it plain, I hope always to be a sophomore in that I hope always to be learning the things I don't know and aware that I do not and cannot know everything.
