I like the sentiments here. Always learning and improving can help get us out of that external locus of control mindset where we are just victims, it builds confidence and empowers us. I used to think I was too stupid to learn a language, it sure feels great to know that Not only can I learn them, but that I’ll learn them faster and more efficiently with each language I learn!
I don’t think telling people they are wrong usually works, but speaking up is important! I usually try to empathize but plant little seeds of doubt in heir mind with questions and sarcasm. It’s fun to come up with ways to do this. Most people feel guilty about whatever they are doing but when you attack them or call them wrong they get defensive and it reinforces their behavior and imagine you are an enemy. “You know, this used to be considered sexual harassment. You’re not even gonna buy me a drink before putting it in my butt?”. Just breaking their routine in a lighthearted way can help to open their mind a bit and realize what they are doing is wrong.
LOL, love the sarcastic seeds of doubt. Thanks for the tip! Cheers
