Sometimes people afraid to question the authorities. They believe in what does the expert say. Like they believe that mung can treats all the various illnesses. This thought is ridiculous, but there are still many people buy a lot of mungs crazily. Question the theory that already be accepted by majority is necessary for personal well-bing and social progress.
Before 1940s, the economic theories of Adam Smith, who was respected as the father of modern economics, was prevalently accepted in the realm of economics and finance. In the book of The Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith claimed that individual ambition serves the common good, which means that if the individual member of a group just strive to earn their own interests, the whole group will benefit. It would be presumptuous to challenge his theory at that time. Yet, John Nash found the flaws of this theory, hence he questioned Smith’s theory without any hesitation by insisting that sometimes the ambitions of individuals are conflicting, which would lead to negative results to the whole group. Through insisting this belief and personal persistent endeavor, Nash developed a systematical theory called Game Theory, which fundamentally changed the realm of economics. Due to the breakthrough of this magnitude, Nash won the Nobel Prize of Economics in 1994 for his eminent contribution.
Through the example above we can see that we have to believe in ourselves and be brave to point out the fault of others. And then you may achieve yourself.
