“Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.”

- Henry Ford

When I was at a university pursuing Masters in International Marketing Management in 2018, I vaguely remember my first introduction week to Marketing. Being a marketing enthusiast, I knew the basics of marketing or so I thought I did.

At the end of the week, while casually talking to one of my classmates, I blurted “ The lectures easy, basic and obvious.” After listening to those overconfident words coming out of my mouth, he kept quiet. I wondered why.

Slowly, I noticed that I was learning with this heavy crapload of ego that I was carrying within me.

Ego related to how little knowledge I had. Gradually, I identified the problem, let my ego take a back seat.

I replayed the first-ever lecture video with a fresh perspective, took notes, and researched further on the important keywords.
