Why we must Question Everything

There was once a time when the universal belief was that the world was flat, and everyone was in a complete unanimous agreement for it to be true. But one man decided upon himself to question the common belief and to later reveal that what we thought we once knew, was something completely different, and we must also question like wise to become great.

"Joy in looking and comprehending is nature's most beautiful gift."

-Albert Einstein

A man that questions his own reflection to the man that stands in front of the mirror can be a puzzling journey to self discovery of not knowing who we really are, and it's one of the most beautiful experience that one can have.

As elusive or enlightening it may sound to some, here is a story that may guide you on your journey.

There was once a prideful master swordsman who was well known for his exceptional skills and conceited in his own success.

He one day decided to take in a new student who seemed dumb and incompetent, so he would seem high and mighty among the people that watched him.

Although the proud swordsman slacked off training the student, the student learned diligently as much as he could from his teacher and at the same time, to educate himself by reading books and training when no one was around.

As time passes by, the student kept training and studying to become a great swordsman, and finally reached the same skill level as the master.

This brings us to reach our two different endings to this story.

First ending entails that the student becomes a prideful swordsman as his master was, and decides he knows everything and stops learning.

Second ending entails that the student questions himself "maybe I'm not a great swordsman" and decides to keep learning and training which invariable made him become a Wise Legendary Master Swordsman that the people in all the land looked up to.

"Stay hungry, stay foolish"

-Steve Jobs

If we tell ourselves that we don't know much, rather than saying we know all, it will open our minds to intake new information and to keep us stretching and growing! The fact that we don't know everything, opens the world of possibilities and to be let free of the shackles of imprisonment we've created for ourselves in our minds.

If we hold within our minds that we have a limited capability of our own potential, you've literally killed yourself! You've decided to put a limit on your potential, you've put a cap on your greatness, and you've closed the door for your creativity to flow within you!

"Limits, like fear, is often an illusion."

-Michael Jordan

Realize that our only limits are the limit's we've created upon ourselves.

Now question yourself,

"What am I really capable of?"
