It takes curiosity to learn. It takes courage to unlearn.
Learning requires the humility to admit what you don’t know today. Unlearning requires the integrity to admit that you were wrong yesterday.
Learning is how you evolve. Unlearning is how you keep up as the world evolves.
Adam Grant
When you invest, it is so easy to feel relieved. It’s done. You may get annual reviews to explain you are on course, but you don’t need to do any ‘big’ thinking anymore. The reviews are like filling your car with fuel…each time you fill up, you don’t need to rethink the type of car.
As Adam Grant explains, you must rethink your decision at some point. Where possible if you can unlearn, and change your perspective, the chances are you’ll end up with better outcomes. Yes, it’s more effort, but the satisfaction you get is enormous.
