Look for Evolutionary Stable Strategies.
Evolution Stable Strategy – (ESS) – This is a difficult concept but in a nut shell it means that you have two or more groups in an ecosystem and their choices and interaction becomes stable at some point.
Evolutionary Stable Strategy Examples:
When cows eat grass, their saliva helps the grass grow back healthier … the cows “make a deal” with the grass and the situation becomes stable.
Have Humility
There are different types of humility, inward humility and outward humility.
Most everyone has outward humility which outwardly shows others that they are humble – For Example:
“I’m ok, but I’m not that great”. Now inward humility is what you really want to strive for.
People who have inward humility admit that they don’t know everything and that there are lessons to be learned from almost everyone AND most importantly, they take action and strive to improve.
If you’re really humble, you will go out of your way to seek the right information to help you in your situation.
Most of us get the “I don’t know” part right, BUT very few of us get the “I’m going to do something about it” – the action part.
This is usually because our egos don’t want to be hurt.
