What happens when you stop learning? ๐Ÿค”

๐Ÿ“Œ You stop growing mentally.

๐Ÿ“Œ You settle for where things are (because thatโ€™s all you know).

๐Ÿ“Œ Without repetition, you lose what you learned.

The more Iโ€™ve continued to educate myself, the more Iโ€™m reminded of the words of Socrates: โ€œ๐˜ ๐˜ฌ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜ ๐˜ฌ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ.โ€ ๐Ÿ’ฌ

Iโ€™m reminded the more I continue tolearn, the more I realize how much I havenโ€™t learned! ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

Are you sure you know everything? Iโ€™ll challenge you on that. ๐Ÿ˜€

Our tendency to overestimate how much we actually know is referred to as the Dunning-Kruger Effect. Itโ€™s one of many cognitive biases we as humans are susceptible to which cloud our thinking. ๐Ÿง 

So how do we continue educating ourselves?

๐Ÿ‘ Pick up a book and read it!

๐Ÿ‘ Learn about a topic youโ€™re NOT interested in, stretch yourself into new territories.

๐Ÿ‘ Be aware when you start thinking you โ€œknow it allโ€ and remind yourselfโ€ฆ

With education comes new perspectives: on yourself, on the world, and on your life. Care to join me? โค๏ธ
