A person who doesn’t know but knows he doesn’t know is a student; teach him.
A person who knows but who doesn’t know that he knows is asleep; awaken him.
But a person who knows and knows that he knows is wise; follow him.

God asks Peyton Manning first: “What do you believe?”
Peyton thinks long and hard, looks God in the eye, and says, “I believe in hard work, and in staying true to family and friends. I believe in giving. I was lucky, but I always tried to do right by my fans.”
God can’t help but see the essential goodness of Manning, and offers him a seat to his left.
Then God turns to Tony Romo and says, “What do you believe?”
Tony says, “I believe passion, discipline, courage and honor are the fundamentals of life. I, too, have been lucky, but win or lose, I’ve al ways tried to be a true sportsman, both on and off the playing fields.”
God is greatly moved by Tony’s sincere eloquence, and he offers him a seat to his right.
Finally, God turns to Tom Brady: “And you, Tom, what do you believe?”
Tom replies, “I believe you’re in my seat.”
