Become less self absorbed
A person who is self-absorbed takes him or herself extremely seriously. They value their own time – but no one else’s. They are usually quite selfish with their time, love, and money, in addition to lacking compassion for those less fortunate.
Self-absorbed people are arrogant and often treat others as instruments or objects to get something they want. They usually see only one point of view – their own. They are right, and everyone else is wrong, unless, of course, you agree with them.
People who are self-absorbed can be rude, insensitive to the feelings of others, and primarily interested in themselves – their own wants, needs, and desires.
Being self-absorbed is an ugly human quality. Beyond that, being self-absorbed is highly stressful – everything bothers or frustrates them. It seems that nothing is ever good enough.
Self-absorbed people often have very poor learning curves. Since they don’t listen well and aren’t interested in other people, they don’t have the advantage of learning from them.
Become less self absorbed!
Domain knowledge is very important
There was a family with one kid. One day the mother was out and dad was in charge of the kid who just turned three.
Someone had given the kid a little 'tea set' as a birthday gift and it was one of his favorite toys. Dad was in the living room engrossed in the evening news when kid brought dad a little cup of 'tea', which was just water.
After several cups of tea and lots of praise for such yummy tea from father, kid's mom came home. Dad made her wait in the living room to watch the kid bring him a cup of tea, because it was 'just the cutest thing!!'
Mom waited, and sure enough, the kid comes down the hall with a cup of tea for daddy and she watches him drink it up, then she says to him, 'Did it ever occur to you that the only place that baby can reach to get water is the toilet??'
....Mother knows!!
MORAL OF THE STORY:
