A short transcript excerpt from a YouTube video where two speakers discuss the importance of setting aside one’s ego for personal growth. Speaker B reflects that admitting you don't know everything enables faster progress and experimentation, even if it means looking foolish at first. Notable line: “You can either be right or you can be rich,” summarizing the trade-off between ego and results.
You made sure you hit every single thing that we needed to talk about. And in doing that, there's nowhere we can do this ourselves. We need your help.
I think you said something interesting there too when you said you put your ego to the side. Because I think a lot of us have that. It's like I know what's best for me. I have this kind of built up thing where it's like I don't need anybody else's help. And I've done that myself too. And it's so interesting you said that because for me personally, for my story is the other side of putting the ego to the side for me was when I actually started growing because. Because it was like if you can admit you don't know everything and the reason you're not where you want to be is because you don't know everything, the faster you can just get there. So it's like you can either be right or you can be rich. You know what I mean? It's like you can either have it your way and you know you're right, woohoo, whatever. Or you can have it in a way where it's like, hey, I don't know everything. I'm going to put my ego to the side. I might look a little stupid trying something new, but it's going to help me get to where I want to go, you know?
