Lately I run by the saying, "team work to make the dream work".. This however, wasn't always the case. I'm about to talk about something that I wouldn't usually just openly talk about.
I used to be so self-centered that I wouldn't take advice from anybody. I thought I knew everything and brought that into everything I did. I used to have the mindset that if I am doing things on my own that the only one I could blame was myself. In school, I hated team sports, and only did athletics, as I could rely on purely myself. I was completely closed-minded to others' opinions. Don't get me wrong, it's not terrible, it's just not the only way.
I started to realize that I was missing out on many opportunities because of my vanity. I started to do a lot more personal development, learning about the power of being able to listen to what other's have to say. There is only one thing you can do to fix this problem..
You need to humble yourself.
That's what I started working on changing. Trust me, I might not be the most humble person right now, or non-egotistic person out there, but it's about how much I have grown from that experience. If you knew the person I used to be, you would see the difference :) It's all still a working progress, but the point I'm trying to make is that it also doesn't matter where you currently are in your life. The only thing that matters is where you are going.
People don't care about where you come from, but only where you end up. If anything, the place you start will only edify your story so much more, the further down you start your journey.
You need to put your ego aside, and just start listening to other people's opinions more.
Show people how much you care, and they will return the favor! Most people run that strategy in reverse. They think selfishly, expecting other's to treat them like royalty first. It doesn't work that way. By listening to what other's have to say, you are showing them the respect they want to have. Most times if they are people of ethics, they will return the favor.
We don't know everything. No one does. The thing is, you never know when someone truly has a valuable opinion that you can learn from. Being humble also shows the utmost characteristics of maturity!
For those of you who just scroll to the bottom without reading..
Here's a short summary:
