Cultivate Intellectual Humility

Intellectual humility is a virtue that encompasses open-mindedness and intellectual courage and is opposed to intellectual pride and arrogance. Friends, learning takes humility, but with Intellectual pride and arrogance comes ignorance and inability to absorb more knowledge. i.e. When you think you know, you actually stop learning. Some with their knowledge are stranded in life and many are struggling because of intellectual pride and arrogance.

Learning never stops and even with a Doctorate or Masters degree, you can still learn from someone who has not been to school. We sometimes miss solutions to predicaments because we refuse to submit to knowledge from the house help, security guard, ordinary person and even from our own wife/husband or children.

If you want success in life, don’t be Mr/ Mrs know it all. Humble yourself. Put those titles aside and relate with a heart that is willing to learn and acquire knowledge. Remember this: Your level in life today is a direct result of your intellectual humility or lack there of?
