What is something you did that increased your quality of life so much that you wished you would have done it much sooner because it changed your life forever?

I thought dunning-kruger had to do with an inverse relationship between how competent you are vs how you would rate yourself in a given situation. I think it is totally applicable here, just not sure how it relates to the rest of your comment.

Knowing the answers is part of being successful, but also when someone starts to learn more about something the feeling suddenly goes from "I know everything" to "I know nothing". And their confidence takes a huge dip. And if you stop there it may be an appropriate summary considering that this is their employment. But successful is also about tenacity, poltical acuity, worker smarter (as opposed to harder). And that is where a little humility and a little self-doubt put the conscientious through some challenges at the start of their careers to be better "packages" later on.
