The Best Minute: Conscious judgment, changing someone’s mind, and not wrong decisions

2 QUOTES FROM OTHERS

I. Neil Postman on being conscious of your judgments.

“You cannot avoid making judgments but you can become more conscious of the way in which you make them. This is critically important because once we judge someone or something we tend to stop thinking about them or it.”

———————————

II. Richard Powers on how to change someone’s mind:

“The best arguments in the world won't change a single person's mind. The only thing that can do that is a good story.”

2 IDEAS FROM ME

I. Just because something doesn’t work out, it doesn’t mean it was the wrong decision.

Maybe a certain aspect needs to be tweaked. Maybe the implementation needs to be better thought through. Maybe the first pass was never going to succeed anyway.

Resistance can lead to failure, but it doesn’t have to.

II. Nothing we can give to Jesus will ever be greater than what he has given to us.
