The four major negative attitudes that isolated human’s potential are Egotism, Racism, Perfectionism, and Stubborn.

Perfectionism:

I want to learn from the best teacher, trainer, etc…

He has no master degree or his life suck; therefore, I am
not going to learn from him/her.

I won’t write or ask anything until I am really good.

I won’t read his book because he is not a popular author.

Racism:

He/she has different skin colour, therefore, I am not going to learn any thing that related to their race, eg. music, book, art, religion, etc…

Egotism:

I believed in the best master, and learned the best knowledge; therefore, I am the best, and nothing can change my mind.

What I believe is right, because there are billions of people have the same believe as me.

I spent a lot of time in those materials, no need to tell me any more.

Stubborn:

I am who I am, no need to change.

My teacher, parents, and religion said “that is wrong, so that is wrong

The word potential in the quote means learning and knowledge

Revise the question; it was a mistake sorry ^_^
Do you think most people have one or more of these four negative attitudes? Perfectionism, Racism, Egotism, and Stubbornness.

Absolutely not. Especially the racism and egoism. Hate is taught. It is not among maslos hirearchy. We learn to hate, we learn to be selfish, we learn to egotistical, and we learn perfectionism. It's difficult to say, but I would venture a guess that all people do not practice all of these ideas. I would say that most people display characteristics on some, but not all people are like this. I'm of the belief that people are generally good, and kind, and when it comes down to a thought in their minds like these, they ultimately feel like hey are negtives. Racism is just so ridiculous.

Good ideas to ponder! What about Fear, Pride and Laziness?.......Pride and Fear of what others think, or how I will look or be judged.... causing us to desire to hide the truth, or defend errors, when these are actually not the right thing to do?

Thinking about it...these would fall under your categories of egotism and stubbornness.

I think it's all about maturity. A young child is egocentric, impatient, needy and concerned with only his or her wants. A mature person has become patient, and thoughtful of others.

The next question might be: How to decrease these negative attitudes, and what are their opposites?

Prejudice might want to be translated as stupidity. I believe each little thing you've printed right here. the problem is conditioning. human beings have only been programmed that without shoes, they can't function. i imagine what began as an anti-hippie tactic from the 60s and 70s became a pillar in our society. u.s. is between the in reality international places if no longer the in reality u . s . a . that has the "NSNSNS" signal. I actually have talked to human beings international and those symptoms do no longer exist in Europe, Asia, no the position quite yet right here. it truly is all in accordance with lack of expertise. If human beings might want to take a lengthy time period and study and teach themselves (the hyperlinks below are an astounding start up), they could keep in mind that our bodies are literally not those feeble issues that ought to secure hostile to each little thing. in reality, it truly is the consistent protection that has weakened immune structures and motives the topics. it truly is the altered gaits, postures and weight displacement that shoes reason that create the bunions, hammer feet, undesirable knees, undesirable backs, undesirable hips, varicose veins and the record can bypass on. i have been going barefoot for thirteen years and that contains loos, live performance halls, cities just about everyplace conceivable. i could not allow you to recognize the only ideal time i became unwell. My feet are healthful, my knees and back no longer discomfort. human beings only favor to bypass ahead and in no way be materialistic and "nannified'.

I think everyone has all four of these negative attitudes to some extint, but some more than others. All we can hope for is to use the tools we have today to learn a better way to do it tomorrow.

It is not racism.It is alterity(otherness)that deep-seated attitude one takes regarding others.The cognizance of ego in relation to the surounding makes up who you are.All others are derivatives of that factor.
