Old mentality

DevelopmentProgress

We always did it this way

This sentence sounds harmless, but it can stop progress.
You cannot grow or advance if you stay stuck in the same old mentality.
Especially in technical fields, there is almost always a better way to do something.
Does that mean you should keep changing your process every few months?
No.
But you should examine your approach and question it.

  • Is it still valid?

  • Is it still effective?

  • Can it be improved?

Do not stay in your comfort zone just because it feels safe.
Take the risk and move forward.

Old mentality — Yasser Jaffer
