"El mayor error que comete la mayoría de las personas es no verse a sí mismas y a otros objetivamente."
— Ray Dalio
Simplified Meaning:
Many people have trouble seeing themselves and those around them clearly, without bias or personal feelings getting in the way. For example, imagine you have a friend who is always late, and it frustrates you. You might think they don’t value your time or that they are inconsiderate. However, if you looked more objectively, you might notice they have a really busy schedule and struggle to manage their time, not that they don't care about you. When we view things through our own emotions and assumptions, we often jump to wrong conclusions. This can cause misunderstandings and conflicts. A more neutral perspective helps us understand situations and people better. It also helps us improve our own behavior. By reflecting honestly on our actions and motivations without being too hard on ourselves, we can grow and have healthier relationships.
