b"DISCOVERING YOURSELF AS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND OTHERSHere are some tips to help you say goodbye to gullibility and educate yourself a little more, without disillusioning you.1.Think before you speak or act: if you think you're naive, your problem may be that you don't stop to think before you speak or act.Yousaythefirstthingthatcomestomindorfollowyourinstinctive reaction without taking a moment to really think about the situation.So, the first thing to do is to consciously slow things down and take some time to think before you say or do anything.It's easier said than done so start with a day. A day when we make it our duty to take a moment to reflect and look at the issue from another point of view before reacting to any situation.Then a week. If you keep forcing yourself to take that time and think first, sooner or later, that will become your default reaction.2.Don't be afraid to sit on the fence: the fence is underrated. In our modern world, you're often expected to choose sides from the start, and if you sit on the fence, you're seen as weak or indecisive.3.Be overly cautious: if you tend to benaive,then to solve a particular problem, you will have to deliberately behave too cautiously.4.Be more present: naivety can often result from having your head in the clouds and not really paying attention to what is happening here and now. So, make sure you try to be more present in your day-to-day life.5.Listen attentively: being a good listener is a trait to develop, but it can also be a great way to learn about a new person without revealing too much about yourself.Ask them questions and show them genuine interest, rather than wanting to share details about your life right away.6.Do research: well-informed and conscious people can, of course, remain naive. But their knowledge of the world makes them less likely to take things at face value. So, try to educate yourself on the things you don't understand.If you're financially naive, read up on what you need to know or even consider taking a course.Germain Decelles73"
