Lose the ego

Listen and learn

Even when you think you already know.  Stop.  Let go of the fragile ego that keeps telling you you’re smarter and better.  You’re not.  Knowledge can mean everything or nothing.  What you knew yesterday can impede you from making the right decisions today.  Assume nothing (or at least not a lot), and you’re starting with the right attitude.

Never conclude that yesterday’s success (and what you knew then) will lead to today’s triumph.  It’s a fool’s paradise.  What got you here won’t get you to where you want to be today – or tomorrow.

All you knew yesterday is but a building block for what you need to learn today.  Every day you have to get smarter and better.  Lose the ego – listen and learn.
