He that knows not

A neat proverb I came across today:

 

"He that knows not, and knows not that he knows not is a fool.
Shun him

He that knows not, and knows that he knows not is a pupil.
Teach him.

He that knows, and knows not that he knows is asleep
Wake him.

He that knows, and knows that he knows is a teacher.
Follow him."

- Arabic proverb

 

What category do I fall into? Hopefully mostly the pupil. Sometimes maybe the teacher. But too often the fool. How can I remain more a pupil than a fool?
