If you’re more smart than everyone in the room you’re in the wrong room.
This is true I 100% agree with you on this.
I think I'm losing my mind. I'm a 32-year-old guy in tech, graduated from IIIT Delhi, earning 78L annually, but I feel like I'm fooling everyone, including myself. It's as if I'm constantly waiting for someone to burst into the office an...
Socrates: “I know that I am intelligent, because I know that I know nothing.”
For whatever reason. I have a superiority complex because I’ve done okay relative to my humble roots.
But while I am nice in person, mentally I often feel superior and smarter. And I don’t like that I think that way.
Trying to do away...
Hangout with people who are smarter and doing better than you. You will learn your lesson.
