If you want to elevate yourself and be more successful, you must get over the pride of learning because the pride in knowing. I see this happen all the time. People feel embarrassed if they don't know, or they feel so attached to having the right answer that they feel uncomfortable if they're in a discussion and somebody says something different and they learn.

I mean, it's a barrier. Those who give it up then go radically to higher levels because it gives them the capacity to take in or the capacity to change their mind. Is it a problem if you change your mind? You learn, you change your mind; that's called growing. But there's kind of an ego attachment to it.

"Oh, you were wrong. Oh, you changed your mind!" I mean, okay, so that whole thing's connected. It's attached to knowing and thinking that's a big deal or something, rather than the humility that you're referring to. I mean, it's not false humility; it's just actually recognizing what one doesn't know.
