As you examine your mistakes, you realise it was your thinking at the time that caused them, and that\u2019s why you need to keep challenging your own thinking. \u2018Let the wise listen and add to their learning.\u2019<\/i> How do you do that? By learning to appreciate how others think and by continually exposing yourself to people who are different from you. You will think like the people you spend the most time with. When you spend time with people who think outside the box, you\u2019re more likely to break new ground. <\/p>\n
Let\u2019s face it, any time we find a way of thinking that works, our greatest temptation is to rely on it repeatedly\u2014even if it doesn\u2019t work in new situations. When your goal is to protect the success you already enjoy, you put the brakes on the process that can lead you to even greater success. Holding on to a good tradition is a good thing. But you need to remember that every tradition was originally a good idea, perhaps even a revolutionary idea, but every tradition may not be a good idea for the future. <\/p>\n
When you cling to what\u2019s already in place, you resist change\u2014even change for the better. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to challenge your own thinking. If you\u2019re too attached to how things are done now, nothing will change for the better. Dr John Maxwell writes: \u2018In your early years you won\u2019t be as wrong<\/i> as people think you are. In your later years you won\u2019t be as right<\/i> as people think you are. And all through the years you will be better<\/i> than you thought you could be.\u2019 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
