THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OPEN-MINDED AND CLOSE-MINDED PEOPLE
When life throws you an obstacle, how do you react? Are you willing to learn about how to overcome it, or do you just refuse to change your plans?
The way you react to these obstacles defines if you are open-minded or closed-minded. So, paano mo malalaman kung ano ka sa dalawa? According to Ray Dalio, there are 7 ways to tell the difference:
1. Challenging Ideas
Closed-minded people struggle when having their ideas challenged, kapag binabato ng tanong, ang nasa isip agad ay kung paano nila mapapatunayang tama sila kesa pakinggan ang punto ng iba. It causes them frustration. Open-minded people, on the other hand, see questions as a chance to explain their knowledge, they are curious about it, they take the time to hear the other person’s views.
2. Statements vs. questions
Ang mga taong sarado ang isipan, mas madalas mag-bigay ng opinion kesa mag-tanong but open-minded people believe they could be wrong, kaya nag-tatanong sila para mas maliwanagan.
3. Understanding
Closed-minded individuals focus on being understood, rather than understanding others. “Hindi, kasi…” “Ang alam ko kasi…” “Ang turo kasi sa’kin.” Uulit-ulitin ang argumento nila hanggang sumang-ayon na lang ang kausap.
4. I might be wrong, but…
“Baka nga mali ako, pero ito ang pagkaka-alam ko…”. Sounds familiar?
5. Just shut up
Kadalasan sa mga taong sarado ang isipan, mararamdaman mong ayaw nilang marinig ang opinion ng iba. Pansinin niyo sa isang diskusyon, ang mga taong bukas ang isipan, mas gusto nilang nakikinig kesa nagsasalita.
6. Nature to close minds around favorite ideas
Madalas kapag meron tayong isang bagay na matagal nang pinaniniwalaan, kapag nalatagan tayo ng bagong ideya, nahihirapan tayong tanggapin ito. It’s normal but it’s not an open-minded way to learn.
7. Humble pie
It takes humility to seek feedback, ika nga. Open-minded people approach everything with a feeling they could be wrong.
Sa dami ng isyu na kinakaharap natin ngayon, napaka-importante na magkaroon tayo ng bukas na isipan upang tayo ay mas matuto at maging progresibo.
Remember, the ability to change your mind is a superpower.
