You have to listen to
the people who have a negative opinion as well as those who have positive
opinion. Just to make sure that you are blending all these opinions in your
mind before a decision is made. [Carlos Ghosn]
I’m NOT a big fan of “have to” yet I DO understand that when
the phrase is used it means it’s probably a pretty good idea.
I DO like the ideas of listening to “all” sides, of making
myself aware of those who see things in ways different than I DO, and of sincerely
leaning in to learn what they think and feel and run on.
Otherwise, I may as well stay in a closet. The World is full
of interesting and different perspectives.
Sailing a boat calls
for quick action, a blending of feeling with the wind and water as well as with
the very heart and soul of the boat itself. Sailing teaches alertness and
courage, and gives in return a joyousness and peace that but few sports afford. [George
Matthew Adams]
When I was teaching sailing, when I tried to explain to
campers how it is a sailboat works, I could never find the words. Instead I let
them experience it. BEing able to feel
it is far more effective than how it’s said.
