Sometimes, the biggest obstacles to learning come from within ourselves, arrogance and shyness. Arrogance: When we think we know everything, we stop growing. It's like thinking we have all the answers and refusing to listen to others. It’s easy to fall into this trap, but it means we miss out on opportunities to learn something new. I have caught myself doing this before, thinking I don’t need help, only to realise later I could have gained so much more by being open. Shyness: On the flip side, being too shy to ask questions can hold us back just as much. We might stay quiet because we’re afraid of looking silly or not knowing enough, but in doing so, we let confusion linger instead of getting clarity. I have been there too, and I’ve learned that asking a question can sometimes be the smartest move.
