Many times, we hold to the idea that we must be knowledgeable in all areas. We assume a lack of knowledge or understanding equates to weakness.

That, however, is an incorrect perception. It takes strength to admit weakness and ask for help. Simon Sinek noted,

“When we say out loud what we don’t know, it increases the likelihood that someone who does know will offer help.”

Humbly acknowledging questions we have gives others the opportunities to increase their confidence. Ed Parker stated it well when he said,

“The humble man makes room for progress. The proud man believes he is already there.” Although you may know a lot,

stay humble, ask questions, and be open to others’ input. I’m Mac Hammond, and this is the Winner’s Minute.
