What could you do less of?

Think, I might do well to think a little less. On one particular job, often when asked a question I would pause. During my pause – I’m thinking of the question, why the question is asked, the source of the question (who is asking), the possible outcomes and consequences of the answer I will give. This often infuriated folk mostly because when I did respond they had no idea no idea what I was talking about.

A few months ago a friend suggested I read the, “The Curse of Knowledge” I did, much to my surprise I found a lot of reasons why I should remain humble with the level of knowledge I possess and continue to grow if you will.
