"If you're open to ambiguity"

 ""If you're open to ambiguity, you don't have tunnel vision, and things are not so set in stone," she told me. "You're a little more malleable, in your relationships, in your practice, or your expectations of yourself." You can push beyond the comfort zone of practiced know-how. You can test not just the problem but yourself. In turn, this stance instills confidence, even courage, she and other doctors noted. "When you value uncertainty," said Picker, "there is a confidence that builds and allows continued thinking and rethinking about next steps, as the picture changes." The crumbling of normalcy is no longer the abyss that you once feared.

Heeding the unease of uncertainty to get ahead of trouble, moving past the perceived obviousness of a first off-base answer, deeply inhabiting the question at hand, continually working at the outer edges of your knowledge, creating a culture that values notknowing: this is how you can pursue the prowess of adaptive expertise every day, whether you are roughing out a first take on a crisis or approaching the critical phase of a routine. Practicing such skills in your lifework exposes your limitations and expands your options."
