From Me
If I got fired, what would the next person do? -Source
It’s easy to take ourselves too seriously and believe everything we think. Whether you work at a big company or run your own company, take a few minutes and ask yourself, “If I was gone tomorrow, what would the next person do?” This will allow you to take a fresh perspective and approach.
Take your common beliefs and ask yourself why the opposite is not true.
From Someone Else
"As we grow older, we become more rooted in the past. Habit takes over. Something that has worked for us before becomes a doctrine, a shell to protect us from reality. Repetition replaces creativity."
(Robert Greene, The 33 Strategies of War)
When I was young, I put little value on experience. Why would I? I didn’t have any.
As I’ve grown older, I’ve realized how little I know. It took until my 40s to admit that I didn’t know much of anything. That said, I do have four decades of experience. If I’m not careful, I may be blinded by my experience.
It’s easy to try and solve new problems with old solutions. Sometimes, that’s a mistake.
Take care,
