Adopt a student mindset
from Ego Is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday
When you are a student, there is no room for your ego. Instead, you will filter and absorb what’s around you, and you will be self-motivated to use your learnings to become better at what you do.
How to Apply This
-
Understand that there is always room for improvement
When you think you already know everything, your mind will subconsciously block every attempt to learn more and become better. -
Focus on learning more and bettering your skills
Find a teacher, read books, enroll in an online course, etc. -
Accept feedback, especially the negative ones
When you focus on self-improvement, rather than your ego, negative feedback is one of the most valuable tools you can use to get better at what you do. Listen to each and every piece of feedback you get, actively solicit it even, and think about how you can improve.
