I like to read stuff that I cannot fully understand.
Like Einstein's Theory of Relativity. Or that guy in my school who writes in a cryptic fashion.
Stuff that has a deeper meaning to it but I just simply can't grasp it because it is beyond my intellectual boundaries.
And the reason for liking this is because it makes me feel dumb. Insignificant. That I'm obviously not smart enough.
You might be thinking I'm being masochistic. Or just bashing myself up as usual.
Well, I do this because this keeps me humble.
Grounded when I get too smug.
I do this because pride blinds people and we NEED to be reminded that we are simply not good enough. Humility is the way to go in this big world filled with so many people with so many different strengths that there is bound to be someone out there far better than you.
I'm not asking you to stay quiet and continue being mediocre.
I'm saying that by keeping your head low to be humble enough to absorb what others are teaching, when eventually you raise your head up, you realise that you're already one notch above the rest.
