Let Go Ego - Collaborate & Excel




The biggest barrier that hinders our progress is ourselves.


It is our subconscious refusal to adopt the unconventional & untried methods, our fear of moving out of our comfort zone, our perceived inability to handle the new changes as well as our willingness to maintain an open mind and accept facts especially when they are not favourable to ourselves or against conventional norms from our upbringing. This also results in the lack of trust of others to accept opinions and collaboration proposal.


The other more important aspect is the expectation of the individual. The way an individual defined his/her expectation and "win" will greatly affect the action & behavious toward the task/event. This determines the outcome and, on most occasions, even before execution.


Many points to knowledge, experience and maturity of the individual and, on so many occasions, assume that the older an individual the better the knowledge, experience & maturity. The other school of thoughts believes that if one is good enough, the person is old enough. It is not the age that matters. Thus, any individual who has the open mind to continuously learn and update himself/herself will acquire the knowledge & skills needed to understand his/her own expectations, adapt to the changing environment as well as see things in a different light. The result of such habits is quantum leap improvement which leads to greater self-satisfaction, happiness and success.
