CONFIDENT FOOL & DOUBTFUL GENIUS
With this blog post i would like to address the biggest
problem of the millennium....We see the fools and fanatics so certain of
themselves whereas the wiser people full of doubts...
So well quoted by Shakespeare that a fool thinks himself to
be wise,but a wise man knows himself to be a fool....
You find a wiser person to be full of doubts,uncertainties n
open mindedness...overconfidence and pride in ones skills and achievements
develops a superiority complex which is as dangerous as inferiority
complex..for it diminishes the learning zeal and quest for learning new
skills,n ultimately stops the overall growth of a person...he is no less than a
self proclaimed brimful vessel which can further not be filled...
There is nothing more dangerous than a confident fool....n
it get more destructive when such fool is appointed at the leadership post..
In psychology this is called as dunning Kruger
effect..which is cognitive bias wherein unskilled individuals suffer from illusory
superiority..which in actual is their inablility to recognize their
ineptitude...
Conversely a highly
skilled individuals tend to underestimate their relative competence
the doubts in genius might turn out to be blockage to
skills,knowledge and talents...
he may do something real good but lacks of confidence would prevent something real revolutionary to happen...
he may do something real good but lacks of confidence would prevent something real revolutionary to happen...
To the confident fools out ,the self proclaimed genius johnny bravo seems so relatable...he over smartness he always landed up in trouble...
Self proclaimmed Confident fools nuture more of arrogance ..and stubbornness....you may continue to believe yourself to be the best....or call yourself the god..you can think high of yourself...no ones stopping you...but make sure not to land up in trouble...
Then there are some political leaders who in hunger for power and dominacy they lice in their own world of delusions...
...now let us take the case of the brainy smurf...always trying to prove himself better than other and outsmart others...and landing himself into troubles and everytime other smurfs coming up for his rescue....only papa smurf could convince him of his follies..
Confident..nobita... doubtful ...doraemon
Here is coyote another self proclaimmed genius from the road runners
For a wise person,the more he learns or explores ,the more he realises how much he dont know...
Now we will look up the examples of genius whom the world believed to be absent minded...
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious...belief in unknowns,chances,unexpectancy,mysteries and vast ocean of knowlege..
The rebellious nature of einstein lexpelled him from the school...alsohis headmaster had commented that he woulnt amount to much in life...n you know how much to truth it holds itself....
.....
Thomas alva edison
Sigmund freud..he was also fired from his first job n described as non productive....
But how much it hold true...we know now...his greatest boon to the humanity is the linvention of light bulb ....he gave in 10000 attempts before making the one...n he did not fail but discovered 10000 ways not to make the light bulb....
A genius finds the expectancy in the unexpected...
Henry ford broke 5 times before he finally succeeded..
Michael jorden who remarked that he success is attributed to multiple failures...
Walt disney had gone bankrupt before he built us the disneyland.
Einstein was destcibed as s absent minded child by his school,
Failure is a way forward...
Innumerable inventions have been made in
It is the expectancy of the unexpectancy that has led to great innovations and discoveries of all time..
Failure doesnot make you inefficent..
Iabraham lincoln switched from profession to proffesion...
Highly creative peoplerecognise things,makining connections,they see the things as others cannot see..
They stand against conventional opinions,n with their own existing beliefs,..emrace new ideas n always look for new opportunities..
You can spot such people in your vicinity ... with louder
mouths and smaller minds and yet a package never short of confidence...
they are always right in their light and there is confidence
booming ...they trust themselves to be their best critics and dont need any
piece of advices or suggestions leaving no scope for correction...earning them
the fools of lifetime award...
These are 2 diffrent tales of same city..on the other had a doubtful
genius has the ideas,n good knowlege
,but full of self doubts n lacking certainly n confidence in oneself he
never lands up executing the plans..he underperforms as per his actual
potential...n things ends up being inefficent...
In my opinion,i suggest to try,enter the ring n play..even
if you fail in few attempts you will end up gaining good experience which would
be progressive for your next term attempts...learning out of failure is
important factor for cultivating a genius...
There are age old words of wisdom from philosophy of
socrtees...the wisdom lies in understand ones limitations of knowlege....you
are only uncovering the vast ocean of knowlege of universe...
A self assured
confident fool is living in a world of dillusions...self assurity makes one
further ignorant and close minded to new ideas,thoughts and even prejudiced to
diffrent opnions....
While in the road of enlightenment one has to walk the
jouney of inquiry,skepticism,question oneself consistently,n be open to learning of new techniques n
methodologies and be constantly driven towards further understanding of
universe and its mysteries....
curious mind understands the limitations of his own
knowledge and experiences , n gets in
the lifetime learning mode...
there is certainty in the uncertainties...
confident fools...
if one thinks one knows everything,he has already cultivated
a fool in himself....
