You can be wrong

Do you know the fact that sometimes you are wrong on what you think? Ofcourse you know but do you acknowledge this fact? Very few do.

I want you to not just know but start acknowledging that you are/can be wrong at times. The reason why most don’t do this is because we think we know the right thing about everything that we have read about.

But something you don’t know is did the writer of the piece you read did proper fact check before writing. Or maybe he left some blindspots on questions that he didn’t know much about.

However well read you might be, these limitations to your source of knowledge will always be there.

This is the reason why you should always invite and seek constructive counterarguments to your own. It exposes you to the other side of the coin and your blindspots after knowing which you’ll be better equipped to form a perspective about anything.

Start openly accepting that you can be wrong and encourage others to point out faults in your knowledge.

I’ve learnt so much just by the counterarguments people give to these micro blogs. They feel that I may get offended but I always make sure to thank them for doing so because it’s all about plugging the holes in my tank of knowledge.

I want you to start doing this because even your tank of knowledge has plenty of holes. The sooner you plug them the better off you are.
