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.

What Does It Mean To Be A Wise Person?

“You are wise when you know what to ignore.”

What does it really mean to be a wise person? Is it about knowledge? Is it about wisdom? Or is it about how you live your life? Or is it about what is important to you?

According to Don Miquel Ruiz, “You are wise when you no longer act against yourself. You are wise when you live in harmony with yourself, with your own kind, with all of creation.” You can train yourself to become a person of wisdom. All you have to do is to change how you make certain decisions. You are wise when you are responsible for your decisions. You are wise when you know what is important to you in your life. You are a person of wisdom when you know what you want and you go for it with all your might. That is what wise people do. They don’t live their lives based on other people’s opinions. They live their lives based on their own opinions. You are wise when you choose your path, pursue your goals, and rise up again when you are knocked down. Don’t worry about where you are, worry about where you are going. Because where you are going matters more than where you have been. Trust yourself, work yourself, and your life will take care of itself.
