Poem- Ignoring the new knowledge

Sometimes we are so enslaved by our beliefs that we are afraid to let them go.

These beliefs saddle us with old patterns of thinking, which seldom let us grow.

We let them dictate our lives without slowing their flow.

Clinging to it for too long blocks avenues for new exploration by casting a dark shadow.

When new challenges knock on our door, old beliefs should be eradicated like weeds.

A new situation necessitates new thinking in order to proceed.

Our sense of self-esteem attaches value to these past beliefs without any solid ground.

Our inability to adapt to an evolving environment causes severe internal wounds.

Ignoring new evidence by turning a blind eye will cause the problem to grow bigger.

Discovery of a new solution requires first-principle thinking with painstaking rigour.

Drawing a preconceived incorrect conclusion for your own convenience is a losing game.

Not seeking new knowledge to deal with the true picture is very regressive and lame.

This erroneous attitude must be corrected so you don’t fall behind the curve.

Molding yourself swiftly with need will help you get what you truly deserve.

Act with nimble feet to save yourself from pain.

Reflect with honesty so that your earnest effort does not go in vain.
