It is a natural cycle to want to improve yourself. The question is—when do you reach the point where you’ve stopped learning and you need to become a freshman again?
When you are an expert—you don’t get a day off. When you are a freshman: · You can ask questions that an expert wouldn’t ask for fear of looking stupid · You can take risks that would look like career suicide for an expert · You can try things and not worry about failure— because for a freshman, it is about learning · Use the phrase “I’m no expert here...” · Use the phrase “Let’s try this and see if it works...” For your current job or area of expertise: How can you look at it with a fresh set of eyes? What experiment can you do to see if it improves your job? Outside of your current job: What is something you don’t know much about that you could learn more about? Comments are closed.
