<b data-redactor-tag="b">focus on being a life-long learner and admirer of superior qualities in others</b>.</p><p>Create opportunities <b data-redactor-tag="b">which by design - makes you the least knowledgeable person in any meaningful gathering that you choose</b> to be in.</p><p><b data-redactor-tag="b">Throw your EGO out</b> and surrounding yourself with people <b data-redactor-tag="b">who are smarter, more intelligent, more powerful, more knowledgeable and master-experts - than you are</b> - can make you <b data-redactor-tag="b">feel awful and can increase your emotional-insecurity</b> time to time - UNLESS - you are very <b data-redactor-tag="b">comfortable with who you are</b> and really learning for growth. </p><p>Accept this - <b data-redactor-tag="b">No One Is Smarter Than everyone - ask yourself have you come across people who are individually more intelligent</b> and more capable than an entire team - <b data-redactor-tag="b">not possible</b>.</p><p>How many times <b data-redactor-tag="b">you are with people and know more than each individual person there -

<b data-redactor-tag="b">this thought-process itself can be enough of stress.</b></p><p>Trying to <b data-redactor-tag="b">outsmart others also have huge cost - you will lose opportunities because of your focus on</b> something that has no value at all.</p><p>If you <b data-redactor-tag="b">are looking to feel like a victor or champion -
