As you grow in life, you are exposed to myriad different experiences, belief systems, perspectives, and opinions. Some of them completely contradict each other. At times, you find yourself wondering if it’s a good idea to stick with what you have always believed or change how you think.

Perhaps the best approach is to “be ready to change our views at any time, and throw off prejudices, and live with an open and receptive mind,” as American economist and author Henry George wisely advises. “A sailor who sets the same sails all the time, without making changes when the wind changes, will never reach his harbor.”

Absorb the things that serve your development as a human, things that help you become the best version of yourself.
