I love having conversations with people of different backgrounds, professions, or interests and hearing what brings them joy, fulfillment, or their opinions.

One thing I have come to realize is that everyone knows something I don't.

Whether its in regards to sports, current events, music, the weather, you name it, I normally walk away from conversations having learned something.

In general, we tend to steer conversations towards topics in which we are knowledgeable. Mostly unintentionally, it's natural for us to gravitate towards ideas we are familiar with so we can carry the conversation.

But what if instead we became more accustom to inferring about others opinions and interests?

Not only would this make the other person in the conversation feel wanted and appreciated, but we would expand our own knowledge and understanding.

Be humble. Don't underestimate others. Every person around you knows something you don't. Understand this and use it as an advantage to learn and connect on a deeper level.
