Not to confuse this with the “’know-it-all” attitude, believing that you can, is all about acknowledging that there is a lot to learn, and being more willing to push yourself towards achieving it. It is about trying and then using the outcome to gauge yourself.
For how long will we keep saying, “I don’t know how to do that,” or “that’s not my thing,” yet that is what is holding us back from achieving what we should?
How long will we keep saying,” so and so is smarter that’s why they can do this better than me”. Is it that they are smarter or is it that they are more than willing to go the extra mile?
