Intelligence is now defined as the ability to rethink and unlearn.
Research
reveals that the higher you score on an IQ test, the more likely you are to
fall for stereotypes because you’re faster at recognizing patterns. And
recent experiments suggest that the smarter you are, the more you might
struggle to update your beliefs.
The curse
of knowledge is that it closes your mind to what you don’t know.
Good judgment depends on having the skill— and the will— to open your mind. A
hallmark of wisdom is knowing when it’s time to abandon some of the most
cherished parts of your identity."
One
thing that is seen with emerging leaders across many aspects of business,
family, and life is the temptation to lower expectations at the first sign of
struggle.
Too many of us settle for being the second leader because it
is more comfortable when we should want to be the third.
One of the greatest feelings is accomplishing something we
once considered
impossible. When we lower
the bar, we deprive others of experiencing that feeling.
“Treat
a man as he is and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he can and should be
and he will become as he can and should be.” – Stephen R. Covey
When you have something that
you know is true, even over the long term, you can afford to put a lot of
energy into it.”
— Jeff Bezos on the importance of what’s not
going to change
