Victim of Myths
Mark Twain rightly said - " It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It is what you think you know for sure that just ain't so "
Over time, our knowledge is garnished with unverified myths borrowed either from mythologies, fairy tales & fables
True or false, we don't know. But they certainly leave behind scars & impact our thinking. This comes in our way as we determine our strategy.
Gary Keller points out that the real solutions we seek are always hiding in plain sight; unfortunately, they have usually been obscured by an unbelievable amount of bunk, which repeated over a reasonable period of time gets labelled as 'customary wisdoms'
If you analyze these myths & wisdoms deeper, you would conclude that these turn-out to be an astounding flood of 'common sense' that turns out soon to be non-sense.
Let me share 7 such Myths which I am wary of.They are :
1. Slow & Steady Wins the
Race đĽľ
2. Frog slowly boils in
Luke-warm water with
rising temperatuređ¸
3. Fish Stinks Heads -
down đ
4. Bet on the jockey not
on the horseđ´đ
5. Continue practise till
you succeed đââď¸đââď¸
6. Praise
accomplishments &
not the struggleđ
7. Left brained are
creativeđ¤Śââď¸đ¤ˇââď¸
Do such myths influence you too ?
