Have multiple opinions
from Factfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World – and Why Things Are Better Than You Think by Hans Rosling
How to Apply This
-
Accept that one perspective can narrow your imagination.
Recognizing that having just one solution for any problem is wrong. You have to debate with yourself sometimes. -
Test your ideas.
When someone has a different viewpoint than yours, try to test your ideas on them and find out the weaknesses of your concept. -
Be curious.
Instead of arguing your case, try to understand the other’s perspective to see if there’s something you have never considered. Be open-minded. -
Don’t be a hammer.
A hammer only sees a nail, while a toolbox fixes multiple things. Use handy instruments to shape your beliefs.
