The World is Vast and Boundless II
It is okay to collaborate with others to achieve your goal.
Sometimes, two heads are better than one. You don’t have to know everything, but being open to asking for help is essential. It is important to recognize that when you are asking someone’s opinion or advice about a project you are working on, you are not only helping yourself, but you are helping the other person as well. What’s the point of hoarding knowledge? Knowledge sharing, working together, and sharing your expertise forces you to grow and develop organically. You have grabbed your corner of the world and honed your skills, and now it is time to find out if you have done it right. Whenever you share your knowledge, you put yourself “on blast.” It takes courage to look yourself in the mirror and say I know what I am talking about; this excellent idea is mine, and I will give it to the world to improve. You should be proud and humble. So it may take two or three, maybe more experts, to complete the picture and then implement your idea.
What good is your idea if you are the only person who knows about it? Look at what Steve Jobs did with the help of some good friends who were also experts. He changed the world.
