I was listening to a self-help audio track and couldn’t stand the slow “Idiots guide” pacing that it structured on, and soon found myself quickly summing up the track and then followed up by distracting myself with internet surfing while the speaker tried in vain to grab my fleeting attention. Every now and then I could catch some keywords but then they were really nothing more than the same thing from my previous “summary”.
And then I suddenly caught my greatest weakness ever to date. Arrogance.
Yeah, I thought I was too good for their advises, too smart to pay the attention and respect to these hard working people who took the effort to put together such help systems for the unfortunate. And not only does my arrogance manifests in this manner. There are way too many other instances where my arrogance kicks in and I start berating people around me, thinking I-know-best and dismissing all other ideas as unnecessary or below my scope of intellect.
This arrogance will one day lead me to ruin, mark my words.
Gotta keep this in mind.
