If you want to be more successful you must get over THIS

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.
