Your Erroneous Zones

by Wayne W. Dyer

They are not concerned with having to do it right or having done it wrong. If it doesn’t work, or it doesn’t accomplish the greatest amount of good, then it is discarded, rather than mulled over in regret. They are truth seekers in the learning sense, always excited about learning more and never believing they are a finished product. If they are around a barber, they want to learn about barbering. They never feel or act superior, showing off their merit badges for others to applaud. They learn from children and stock brokers and animals. They want to know more about what it means to be a welder, a cook, a hooker, or a corporate vice-president. They are learners not teachers. They never know enough, and they don’t know how to act snobbish or superior, since they never feel that way. Every person, every object, every event represents an opportunity for knowing more. And they are aggressive in their interests, not waiting for information to come along, but going after it. They’re not afraid to talk to a waitress, ask a dentist what it feels like to have your hands in someone’s mouth all day, or inquire of the poet what is meant by this or that line.
