Why can't life be as simple as trying wedding cakes?

Where do we draw the line between being a know-it-all and simply being knowledgeable? Are there moments that we try so hard not to say "I told you so..." but it just doesn't work out, we say it anyway? Or are these just pride speaking and need to be suppressed?
To be respectful to others could mean dumbing yourself down. Making yourself seem like you don't know the answer to be cool. Is this humility? To just stay silent could help, but could also hurt.
Life is like a balancing act. We have twenty four cups on our hat with a candle burning in the middle of the top one, a piano in one hand while we only have a small flower pot in the other. It's impossible to do, but we have to save as many of these items as we can for as long as we can. And giving up would be to tumble all of these items onto someone else and force the burden on them, giving them more than they were possibly made for.
