Overview
Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to change your mind -- when you hold onto an opinion for so long, it starts to feel like it's a part of who you are. But if you can be open-minded about things today, you will be doing yourself a favor. Don't think of long-held philosophies as part of the foundation of who you are. Think of them as walls that periodically need to be knocked down to make room for bigger-picture thinking. Don't clam up when a controversial topic arises. Talk and listen.
