HUMILITY OF KNOWLEDGE
<p>I know we often say "don't be the smartest person in the room" but here is how I would frame this; *if you are the smartest person in the room, recognise that a responsibility has been placed on you in that moment and become the teacher you wish they had*</p><p><br></p><p>I think this works better because most times, it's not possible to always be the smartest</p><p><br></p><p> Recognize the give and take of life. Use that opportunity wisely. You are pouring into them just as the people you meet in these so called "smarter rooms".</p><p><br></p><p>I mean, think about it: you not being the smartest in the room means you have become those "dumber people" earlier referenced. </p><p><br></p><p>There would always be someone you can glean from and that's a pointer to your very "smart" room(think of mentors and those you admire)</p><p><br></p><p>And then, there are those who would need to draw from you(you become the mentor and have your mentees learning at your feet)</p><p><br></p><p>The problem is people always ignore the give and take of life so they miss the mark to maintain equilibrium </p><p><br></p><p>There is always an incessant need to be better, do better, and gatekeep knowledge just because </p><p><br></p><p>It truly does not take anything from you to give as much as you get. If anything, it tells a lot about you and your character </p><p><br></p><p>But I guess human nature always takes over and we resort to our baser instincts (John Wick reference 😉)</p><p><br></p><p>I for one think it's a humbling experience when I find myself in that vicinity </p><p><br></p><p>Yes, sometimes it can be annoying especially if the people you find yourself with are not even interested in learning (I loathe intellectual laziness but that's just me)</p><p><br></p><p>But as I have scaled through life, I realized that you only have an edge because you know and have discovered some things </p><p><br></p><p>If that knowledge was common, that edge frazzles and oh boy is it humbling to say the least</p><p><br></p><p>What do you think about this though?</p><p><br></p><p>Am I just yapping or does this yank your intellectual chain?</p>
