Differing opinions
Seek to understand those with whom you disagree. And you'll
learn to better understand yourself. Look at life from
someone else's perspective. And your own perspective will
become more valuable.<P>
No two people experience the world in exactly the same way.
That is one big thing that makes life so interesting, and
the possibilities so abundant.<P>
The opinions of others in no way threaten your own opinions.
In fact, the opinions of others can help you to refine and
strengthen your own unique perspective.<P>
If you assume that you are right and everyone else is wrong,
then you shut yourself off from valuable growth and
learning. If you close your mind out of fear that someone
else might change it, you're certainly not showing very much
confidence in your own opinions.<P>
Give your opinions and beliefs the respect they deserve by
opening them up to challenge and criticism. That is what
will make them stronger, more sincere, and of more value to
everyone.<P>
