Metacognition is more important to success than cognition, A person with poor cognitive ability, but great metacognitive ability might do poorly in school, but when faced with a challenge, they understand their abilities and take the best course of action, For example, when faced with a question, a person with strong metacognitive ability will deal with it like this, If he knows the answer，but can’t come up with it，he can always do a bit of research．If he knows for sure that he doesn’t know，then he can start educating himself．Because he’s aware of his ignorance，he doesn’t act with foolish confidence. These people might not seem intelligent at first glance，but because they know what they know，they make better decisions and leam the most important things．

　　However，people with great cognitive ability but poor metacognitive ability may be considered excellent at a young age for acing every test and getting great SAT scores．Unfortunately，they’ve been ruined by poor metacognition：they think they know everything but they really don’t．They are arrogant(overconfident)，fail to learn from mistakes，and don’t understand the slight differences of personal relationships，showing disregard for persons with lower cognitive ability They may make the worst decisions．

　　The most important mental power is the ability to know what you don’t know The recognition of a fault is the first step to improvement．Don’t try to hide a lack of knowledge．For intelligent people this is the toughest lesson to learn．
