6 Mistakes of Man

More than 2,000 years ago, the Roman orator Cicero wrote the "6 mistakes of man". Every time I read them, I'm amazed by their simple wisdom. Read the list below and see if there are some that apply to you in your work as a recruiter:
  1. The delusion that individual advancement is made by crushing others.
  2. Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it.
  3. The tendency to worry about things that cannot be changed.
  4. Refusing to set aside trivial preferences.
  5. Neglecting development and refinement of mind and not acquiring the habit of reading and study.
  6. Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do.
