> It serves me well. I listen more. I ask a lot of questions. I’ve stopped thinking others are stupid. I assume most people are smarter than me. How about not assuming anything at all and just ask a lot of questions anyway? There's no reason to assume you're above or below average, but I think some people are attracted this attitude because it is psychologically reassuring. Instead of assuming you're below average, it's better to just drop the unhealthy attachment we have of always ranking everything and just love learning/discovering.
