We are blind — not because our eyes are closed, but because we fail to see what’s clearly in front of us.
Our blindness comes in many forms:
1. Blindness of Delay:
We see the problem but choose to live with it, convincing ourselves it can wait for another day.
2. Blindness of Positivity:
We keep repeating the same tricks, hoping optimism alone will make the problem disappear.
3. Blindness of Ignorance:
We “wing it,” learning on the fly instead of seeking help from those who’ve solved the problem before.
4. Blindness of Knowledge:
We don’t know what we don’t know — until the damage is already done.
We all pay the price of our blindness, whether we admit it or not.
Knowledge is the antidote.
We can’t know everything, but we can invest in those who do. The cost of professional advice or quality products is always cheaper than the cost of staying blind.
The cost of professional expertise is always cheaper than the cost of staying blind.
