From my perspective, to give up insisting on our own egos and beliefs is one of the most difficult thing. We need to open my mind, listen to other contributing ideas,... all of these things just to cultivate our humble mindset. So, what is the benefits of having a humble mindset? First of all, when you are a good active listener (one part of having a humble mindset), obviously, it can enhance our interpersonal communication skills and can become valuable asset in both our personal and studying (or work) relationships. Moreover, your ego and independence from teamwork is what prevents you from hearing critical but necessary feedbacks about your weakness from others. Considering this story, there is a really good surgeon, he and his team did a lot of successful operations, however, in an special occasion for celebrating his promotion in hospital, he assumed that "My assistant team did not help me anything, they just follow my instructions and commands, without me they can't do any thing." After hearing that, his assistant team left him, since then he could not be successful anymore and lately realized that ' without his team, he can not do anything'. Finally, ego makes you over-estimate your own abilities and worth, and under-estimate the effort and skill required to achieve your goals, so let be a person with humble mind and appreciate the feedbacks, opinions, other perspectives.
