Todays /success topic of the day: What’s one outdated practice or belief that you think needs to be challenged or discarded? I think we need to change the practice of saying “the customer is always right.” This can lead to toxic client relationships and to unreasonable expectations. It’s ok to say NO. What do you think?

“im not creative” how many people have said that as a consequence of having been raised as they were, or brought up by an educational system that didn’t worry about bringing the best out of them, but forcing them into constraints. you need to be an engineer. if not you can’t add value to life so we get to see only the creative genious of those that are crazy enough to not care about what people say how many voices have we not heard? how many paintings have not been painted? we are all creative it’s on our nature as human beings

Another outdated practice that should be rethought is the idea that “working longer means you’re more productive.” It often leads to burnout and doesn’t always mean better results. Focusing on doing quality work and having a healthy worklife balance is much more effective.

I've always believed that this saying is only applicable at the retail store front level. Customers or clients can be difficult, and some try to take advantage of that relationship. There are some people out there who simply consider being a pain in the ass, a part of doing business. For those people I have to ask myself 'is the juice worth the squeeze'? (I'm paraphrasing someone there; I don't remember who). If the answer to that is no, then I'll thank them for considering and choosing me, but I'm not going to be able to work with them. You know, in a perfect world. Sometimes though I just have to grin and bear it and wait for the weekend.

"Go to school, get good grades, be a doctor (or equivalent), get a job with good benefits & work until retirement" I recognize that it's not as common today but, people growing up in households with older generations still share that mindset. This could not be further from the truth... Although it may still be a viable option for some, it is definitely not the only, nor the best option in today's world. It's time we break free of old ideals & embrace the new opportunities we have now.

Definitely traditional work hours my homie: The notion that productivity is solely tied to a 9-to-5 schedule overlooks the benefits of flexible working hours, which can enhance work-life balance and overall productivity. which this place is the perfect example of...

An outdated believe I think is to believe all what older people tell you to believe, cause I feel there are a lot of incompetent older people , you just have to compare all advice and do what works for you

Conservatism. In my country, where we are colonized by spain, japan, and america. We've learned the hard way, different culture spur but the one thing I hate the most is conservatism. Maybe it's good for moral etiquette but some are needed to change.

seeing all of these companies mandating return to office is just an indication that they don’t understand that today’s workers. you can get so much more work out of remote employees if they don’t need to spend the time traveling to and from work. also having them sit in an office with no interaction is just pointless

I think the negative stigma of living with your parents should be done away with. I moved out before I even turned 18 and I wish I had stuck around to help prepare better for my early 20's. I worked bad jobs to barely make ends meet, but at the same time maybe that was a good lesson for me to be introduced to the "real world" early on. Other countries don't have that stigma, many will stay with their parents and save up to buy a house or go to college and be very well established without as much of a struggle.. but not everyone has that option. I moved backed in with my parents for a couple years and saved up enough for a down payment on a house much later in my life.. maybe I could have been further along by now if I chose differently. I also think about all the time I spent away from them, I should have been spending more time with them, family is everything and they won't be around forever 🖤

An outdated belief I thus should be discarded is “work smarter, not harder” because in reality you need to work smarter and harder tbh That’s the only way to achieve max productivity

Just because it is obligatory to respect parents does not necessarily mean that all their words are true and they have more experience than us. Sometimes you have to say no to them

The “man always pays for dinner out” is tired and patriarchal… sometimes even transactional. My manhood doesn’t feel threatened when a woman wants to pick up the check, I find it to be sweet and a nice change.

this is a great one. I definitely agree with discarding this belief entirely. can easily be abused and manipulated by the customer. of course, not always or every scenario/situation is like that and you can tell organically if that is happening in the moment or not.

"The customer is always right" is wrong ... i worked at an upscale bar and this regular who lived across the street was acting like a jerk so i kicked him out. He then called 911 on me from outside the bar, they came a few minutes later and took him to jail for public intoxication. Insane entitlement

The culture of using cash in Japan. Japan has advanced anti-counterfeiting technology for bills, so cash is highly trusted. Even now, there are still many stores that only accept cash. When I tell people from abroad about this, they’re always surprised. While it’s important technology, it feels outdated.
