Think being smart is enough to thrive? Think again. You can be incredibly intelligent yet stuck in a narrow mindset. Intelligence is powerful, but it doesn’t always lead to growth or fresh perspectives. In fact, leaning too heavily on past achievements can keep you from moving forward. Let’s dive into why your mindset, not just your intelligence, is the real key to learning, adapting, and growing....

Ever spent hours working hard only to realize you haven't accomplished anything important? It happens to me all the time—running hard but standing still. Urgent tasks always take over, leaving the important ones to be replaced by something else. Our future growth depends on focusing on important work—work that impacts our long-term goals. The whirlwind of urgency often makes us efficient but not effective....

A ship is safe in the harbor, but that is not what it is built for. Similarly, adopting a 'safe' approach at work can hinder long-term career growth. Many individuals with a decade or two of experience reflect on their careers, wishing they had taken more risks and stepped out of their comfort zones at the right moments. If you find yourself at a crossroads in life or in a leadership position without the courage to pursue your ambitions, consider this perspective....

In the early days of my career, one of my bosses had a favorite line: "Your network is your net worth." He used to say it at every opportunity, and it felt salesy and trite. It took a while for me to realize the true value of the line. It has very little to do with net worth in a monetary sense and a lot to do with our value to ourselves and the people around us....

When our children were young, every time we went on a long trip, within the first hour they would start asking, "Have we reached?" And this question will keep coming from time to time. They were kids back then now it is a fond memory for us. As parents, we knew that there was more to the journey than just arriving at our endpoint....

I once read a quote that said, "Things are not always what they seem." This idiom expresses the idea that appearances can be misleading, and that our initial judgments about the world may need to be revised upon further investigation. It suggests that the apparent order and coherence we see in the world is more a product of how our human mind works, rather than being the reality itself....

The thing I wish I had known before is the concept of the focusing illusion, as explained by the renowned psychologist and Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman. According to Kahneman, the focusing illusion occurs when people overemphasize certain aspects of their experiences while neglecting others, leading to a distorted perspective. In the context of a career, Kahneman's explanation of the focusing illusion suggests that we should not overly concentrate on specific achievements or setbacks, but rather maintain a balanced view of our long-term goals and daily work....

Don't worry, I will explain. The principle is known as loss aversion. The idea is that losses are psychologically more powerful than gains. It all starts with our lizard brain and the millions of years spent in the Jungle evolving. We evolved for life in the Jungle. Being extremely sensitive to potential losses had survival advantages for our ancestors. Avoiding risks that could lead to losses of resources, food, shelter, etc....
