Do You Understand Yourself?

Honesty is everything. Trust is everything. If you do not understand yourself, do not hide it from others. If you do not understand yourself, do not hide it from yourself. 

You work with other people. To know them, you must first know yourself. You must first understand yourself. 

Be honest about everything. If you do not know what you can do, do not hide it. Let people know. To do well, you must know what your strengths are and what your weaknesses are. 

And the best way to figure it out is to pay attention to what makes you really happy. Always think like a student, not as an expert. Experts know everything. But students are learners. 

If you want to grow, it is better to think like a student than to think like an expert. 

Whatever you do not know, admit that you do not know it. If you have done it before, let them know what you can do. If you haven't done it before, let them know what you do not know. 
Do not be scared to admit that you do not know something. 
Look, if you want to learn, if you want to grow, if you want to add value to your life, it is better to look foolish for five minutes than to look foolish forever. 
If you want to grow, keep learning.

More Vs. Less

We have more things to do, but no time to do them. We are doing more than one thing at a time, but we are getting nothing done.

We have everything- nice homes, nice cars, but we keep searching for happiness.

Why?

Here is the answer:

According to His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, “We have bigger houses but smaller families. more conveniences, but less time: We have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgement; more experts, but more problems; more medicines, but less healthiness; We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbour.

We built more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication; We have become long on quantity; but short on quality.

These are times of fast foods but slow digestion; Tall man but short character; Steep profits but shallow relationships. It’s a time when there is much in the window, but nothing in the room.”
