Willing To Change

Tagged as: , Oct 08

It should come as no surprise that you are not always correct. And this even though you probably think that you are always correct (as I talked about in Algorithm For Your Life.

When you have a wrong opinion and are faced with facts, are you willing to alter your thoughts on the matter? It’d be hard to find someone that doesn’t think that sounds reasonable. But it might come as a surprise to you that I feel as if I see that people are not always so. But why?

I think that a large part of the difficulty is that changing is tough to do. It is a rather outright admission that you are wrong. Nobody wants to be wrong. It’s also admitting that you don’t know it all. And don’t we all wish that we could be a know it all? (That’s a bit sarcastic for those that can’t sense it since I obviously think that Experience Matters.)

Be willing to change, you might find that it’s not as hard or stressful as having to know everything.

So what were you wrong about? Who was right?

Hm I think that I encounter this thought so often that it wasn’t inspired by any single experience.

I know that I’m wrong more often than I’d like to admit, though. Haha but at the same time I try very hard to know what I’m talking about, which hopefully means that I do actually know what I’m talking about.

Do you find it easy to be willing to change?

Changing is tough, but it has to happen. Every one should always be alert to face any kind of situations.
