You've touched on a profound topic. Self-awareness is indeed a powerful tool.

It's the foundation of

emotional intelligence and enables us to understand our own emotions, strengths, weaknesses, drives,
values, and goals. We can use this understanding to manage our reactions and responses to different
situations.

It's true that we often know a lot about others, perhaps because it's easier to observe and judge from an
external perspective. However, turning the lens inward for self-reflection can be more challenging but
equally rewarding.

As for knowledge, it's often said that it's power. This is true in many contexts, as understanding the
world around us can help us make informed decisions and navigate life more effectively. However, not
all knowledge is equally valuable. What's considered "useless" knowledge can vary greatly depending on
the context. For example, knowing the details of a historical event might not be useful in our daily life,
but it could be invaluable for a historian or a quiz participant.

In the end, the key is to seek knowledge that enriches our lives and promotes growth, while also
cultivating self-awareness to understand and improve ourselves. It's a lifelong journey, but one that's
well worth the effort.
