STOP. Before you read on, here is an interesting video. Check it out! It may really resonate with you. Do not read the rest of this blog until you have watched the video…
One of the things he mentions in the video that is super inspiring is that “the number one thing I hate is ignorance. That’s the only disease you can’t fight.”
Ignorance is something that can really get under your skin. It is so much easier to admit that you don’t know something.
The main thing is to actually emphasise what you are going to do about it. Are you going to continue not knowing about a specific topic? Or will you get your ego out of the way and find out the information for yourself?
What’s even worse is the fact that some people won’t even bother to acknowledge their lack of knowledge, keeping themselves stagnant and stubborn in the long run. THAT is something that no one can fight or counter whatsoever.
There are many ways to get over the trap of becoming and remaining ignorant.
Admit it when you don’t know something; that ‘hey I don’t know what this means, but I will find out more.’ Over time, you’ll notice that the ‘I will find out more’ would always be received well by others.
Step one is to admit you are unaware and are willing to search for the information.
Another solution to the ignorance issue is to keep being persistent. But the times you persist and consistently make an effort to solve the problem at hand, you won’t feel disappointed in the end.
The last thing is to control what you can control. Not worrying about the things outside of your control can make your days happier, more productive and truly gratifying.
EXECUTION.
