In addition to your ego barrier, you (and everyone else) also have blind spots—areas where your way of thinking prevents you from seeing things accurately

Open-minded people seek to learn by asking questions; they realize how little they know in relation to what there is to know and recognize that they might be wrong;

They are thrilled to be around people who know more than they do because it represents an opportunity to learn something.

Closed-minded people always tell you what they know, even if they know hardly anything.

They are typically uncomfortable being around those who know a lot more than they do

Being open-minded is much more important than being bright or smart. No matter how much they know, closed-minded people will waste your time. If you must deal with them, recognize that there can be no helping them until they open their minds.

Most people are reluctant to take in information that is inconsistent with what they have already concluded

Most people seem much more eager to put out (convey their thinking and be productive) than to take in (learn). That’s a mistake even if one’s primary goal is to put out, because what one puts out won’t be good unless one takes in as well.

Open-mindedness doesn't mean going along with what you don't believe in; it means considering the reasoning of others instead of stubbornly and illogically holding on to your own point of view

One principle that I’ve really learned is “Pain + Reflect = Progress.”

The two-minute rule
https://x.com/RayDalio/status/1959235423772840027

[behappyalways]

Don't fight your nature. You were born with a certain nature, and your environment has shaped it.

The most important thing you can do is understand it, and then build your life around those strengths and weaknesses.

Find the lifestyle, career, and path that makes sense given what you’re like.

The secret to a successful life isn't to force yourself into a different mold — it's to understand your own nature and find the path that allows you to live it out fully.
