On The Road, Straight Ahead, For the First Time, We See One of East Central Oregon’s Many Volcanic Cones!
….Gumption Traps Lecture Continues.

….“On the road now and talking about traps again.
.. The next one is important. It’s the internal gumption trap of ego. Ego isn’t entirely separate from value rigidity but one of the many causes of it.
.... If you have a high evaluation of yourself then your ability to recognize new facts is weakened. Your ego isolates you from the Quality reality. When the facts show that you’ve just goofed, you’re not as likely to admit it. When false information makes you look good, you’re likely to believe it. On any mechanical repair job ego comes in for rough treatment. You’re always being fooled, you’re always making mistakes, and a mechanic who has a big ego to defend is at a terrific disadvantage.“ (Cont.Next)
