Keeping Errors at Bay

Bertrand Russell
The writer provides multiple examples of mistakes that generally people commit in their day to
day life. His main idea is to provide suggestions to avoid the mistakes. We need careful, serious,
critical and analytical mind to get rid of these errors. People generally believe whatever others
say and that may be one of their mistakes to be wrong. At the same time we keep errors at bay
because we do not like to listen other peoples different opinions and think that ours is the most
beautiful idea. Following are some of the reasons because of which we become victim of the
errors:
        self-esteem
        fate and death
        superstitions, social dogmas, traditions
        conservation
        ignorance
        fear
        lack of critical, analytical mind
        self centered, unfair judgment
        overconfidence
How can we get rid of these?
  Observe ourselves, things, matters etc.
  confront the  other people's logic with reason
  know other's psychology
  avoid self esteem, superstition, egocentrism
  be skeptic on unproved ideas
  have deep understanding of the things, matters etc
  develop comparative ideas, critical mind
  have tolerance on other's ideas
