Say to yourself and the people affected, “I realize that I’m wrong and I’d like to make it right. Don’t brush it off, try to push it onto someone else, or pretend it didn’t happen. ![]() When you make a mistake, don’t try to avoid responsibility. It’s the ability to accept that you can be wrong, that other people will be better than you at some things, that you are flawed and capable of making mistakes.Ī confident person may think they are the best person for the job, but they are also willing to hear other people out or use their knowledge to help get results.Ī big step toward humility is being able to accept and admit when you’re wrong. Humility – a modest or low view of one’s own importance humbleness. What is the difference between arrogance and confidence? That doesn’t make anyone a lesser person. No one can or needs to know everything.Įveryone has blemishes, flaws, and struggles with things from time to time. What the arrogant person doesn’t realize is that no one is perfect. After all, if I know better than you, why should I care what you think about me or something I did? The facade of superiority is meant to be the armor that protects the person from outside criticism and attacks. There is no real trick to perception other than accepting reality for what it is “just reality” and not making excuses as to why things are a certain way but rather finding a way to see them always for nothing more than their face value in an emotionless state.For some, arrogance is a defensive mechanism in a society that cares more about what you can do for it than who you actually are. This differentiation allows others to look at us as leaders or experts in the field at hand and therefore wish to follow us to learn more. ![]() Learning to choose to see more makes us better and more successful in every way and enables us to move further and differentiating ourselves from the crowds around us. #ARROGANT PERCEPTION DEFINITION HOW TO#This same concept pretty much applies to all aspects of business, from understanding how to read your clients and their true intentions to being able to differentiate a real opportunity from an MLM scam. The same rules apply if you are buying a car in the example above and understand that 2 invoices exist. If you are aware of the car market and real values that cars hold, you are not as impressed at the individual in a Mercedes driving by or by a Maserati that trades at values below 30K. The more you know about the reality of things, then the closer to reality your perception becomes and therefore the more REAL opportunities you see from passive ones. Knowledge is power and knowing what to look for differentiates leaders from followers. There is of course 2 different invoices tied to each car but you are not told to see that and therefore miss it and dismiss it. You are told to not believe car salesman as the general thought from ages ago is that they are all crooks and therefore you are now shown an invoice as to what the cost of your car was and that you are being sold that car below invoice making it a good deal, but you are taught that and therefore believe that. Think about the typical car salesman and the invoice trick. You see what you believe as that’s what you have been trained to see since day 1. A perfect example of this is the never ending argument of which religion fits the equation best.Įarlier I said that belief and perception impact what you see. The real problem is that when we see others act outside of our belief and existing perception, we think they are crazy or simply arrogant and unworthy. What dictates right from wrong? Is it religious belief? Is it a book? Is it our parents and their beliefs? But then I ask you who taught them? Regardless of where we get our belief, it has a very high impact on our judgment which leads to a perspective we create based on what we know. This perspective is then formed and stays with us till the very end while impacting every other decision we make in between based on how we perceive life. I often say our perspective comes from two places: our belief and how much we see. So how do you form a perspective and how do you absorb one’s perspective to see beyond it and get to the reality? In a world where perception is more real than actual reality, comes the problem of understanding one another. So many viewpoints, disagreements and conflicts around the same topic for the same outcome. There are some who see things for what they are, others who see them as they believe and others only as they’ve seen them before. ![]()
