Isn't it these three words are words that we commonly hear in our daily lives? It sounds ok to me, so what's the problem by saying "I know that"?

According to T Harv Eker, the famous multi-multi millionaire, "I know that." is the three most dangerous words in the English language. Why does he say so? It's very important for us to stop and think for a while before we say : "I know that",this is purely because how our brains works. The moment we say "I know that", our mind is literally being shut down to receive new informations that we are going to listen/discuss/or talk about; and because of this, we will lose the opportunity to digest and evaluate the new informations which may in turn beneficial to us.

So how do you know if you know something? How do you check if you really know something? Simple, If you live it, you know it. Otherwise, you heard about it, you read about it, or you talk about it, but you don't know it.

When T Harv Eker was broke,he was fortunate to get some advice from a multi-millionaire friend of his father's. He said to him: "Harv, if you're not as successful as you'd like to be, there's something you don't know." Fortunately, Harv took his suggestion to heart and went from being a "know-it-all" to a "learn-it-all". From that moment on, everything changed!

So, next time before you stop anyone from sharing something new to you, practice not to say "I know That" as you could be blocking yourself to greater heights in life.

Rich people constantly learn and grow.
Poor people think they already know.
