overconfidence is more dangerous than the imposter syndrome

overconfidence is when we overvalue our expertise or abilities. Confidence doesn’t immediately raise red flags, but too much of it can keep us from asking for help or being able to admit what we don’t know. 

“A bit of ‘fake it till you make it’ will probably serve you well. However, too much can derail your path in life.” 

Most workplaces emphasize achievement, not learning. 

But you’re unlikely to grow as an employee or a person if you’re not willing to acknowledge you haven’t mastered certain skills.

Approaching work with more curiosity will ultimately benefit you , “Becoming aware of our own limits is not only humbling but interesting.”
