An underrated red flag in a person is an addiction to being right. The most impressive people I know change their minds often in response to new information. It’s like a software update. The goal isn't to be right. It's to find the truth.
I have been an avid reader, my entire life.
Now that I read basically for a living, my pleasure reading has dropped.
But every weekend, I will at least try to sit on the couch and read a book unrelated to my work for around an hour.
I realize that reading has now become a skill. It’s hard to do, especially when we are used to the quick digestible content that comes with scrolling social media.
But it makes me realize that practicing the skill of reading is probably essential and it’s doing something unique to the mind that we need to maintain in this modern era.
