If You Want to Overcome a Blind Spot, Embrace Different Perspectives.

You know, we all have our blind spots, areas of our thinking or behavior that we just can't see clearly. It's like having some dirt on your face that you don't notice until someone points it out. This is one way the people around us can help us. They can point out our blind spots, not to criticize us, but to help us see things more clearly. It's a teamwork of sorts, where we rely on others to reveal our weak spots. So, when someone points out a blind spot, don't get defensive. Thank them for helping you to see better. It's like having an extra pair of eyes helping you navigate through life. Embrace it, learn from it, and use it to grow. Ideally, don't wait for someone to come to you go to them. Actively ask others what they think you could do to improve certain areas of your life or work.

思考や行動にも「盲点」があります。それは、言われるまで顔の汚れに気づかないようなもの。盲点に気づくには周りの人の力が必要です。批判するためでなく、物事がはっきりと見えるように、見えていないところを指摘してくれるからです。誰かを頼りにして自分の弱点を見つけるのは、一種のチームワークです。盲点を指摘されたら、 身構えないで。よく見えるように手助けしてくれたことに感謝しましょう。人生を進むための目をもう1つ手に入れたのですから。受け入れ、学び、成長に役立てましょう。 できれば、周りの人が歩み寄ってくるのを待たずに、自分から近づくこと。人生や仕事を改善するのに自分は何をしたらいいか、積極的に周りの人にたずねてみましょう。
