Limited beliefs will deprive you of many things in your life, starting with the ability to perceive alternative solutions. At some point, we all underestimated people because of their professional or social position, behavior, age, or financial status. It’s time to change your mindset and see every person as a potential source of knowledge and wisdom, because they are.
I will tell you a true story. More than 50 years ago, in the capital of Cyprus, in front of the mental hospital, a man’s car tire happened to burst. There was enough space in the yard, which gave him the opportunity to park and begin changing the tire by himself, using the spare. At that time, there was no roadside assistance, and everyone had a spare tire and tools in their trunk.
With the help of the jack, he lifted the car and loosened the four bolts of the wheel. He left them on the ground next to the wheel, removed the tire, and went to the back of the car. Someone from the management called him to find out what had happened. After speaking to him for a while, he went back, took the spare tire, and tried to place it in its position.
There, with horror, he realized that the four bolts were lost. Without them, he couldn’t place the wheel and continue his journey. He searched for a long time, but found nothing. Discouraged and helpless, he stood beside the car, looking for a solution.
A little while later, a patient from the mental hospital passed by, returning from a walk outside. Seeing his distress, he asked him what had happened. After explaining the problem, the patient calmly replied: «Where do you see the problem? Take a bolt from each of the other three wheels and go home!»
