RE: How Steve Jobs Created a Forward-Thinking Culture at Apple - Book Club #18: "Steve Jobs"
Yes! It is a huge issue and I love your example with the doctor and his trainee - that's one that should hit home on an individual level. Every voice matters and everyone is entitled-no-obligated to share it! I hope more people can check out the post you made earlier and learn something from it. Communication is everything and we now live in a society that allows for communication on a global level, but the individual has to take charge and actually do something about it! I'll link your post right here for anyone interested - https://steemit.com/blog/@teutonium/speak-up-climb-the-stairs-and-change-the-world
That's phenomenal and it definitely shows in how you interact and share your thoughts here on Steemit! I also grew up in a similar way - you can have strong opinions, but you absolutely have to back your opinions with passion and knowledge about the subject at hand - that's the real key component - to have strong opinions AND the knowledge to back yourself up.
Thanks for linking my post :D!!
Backing your opinions with knowledge and passion is a must... i've seen plenty of people that, when asked why they think a certain way, or where they learned that knowledge their answer was always the same: "It's what people say" or "i was taught this way", when further asked they got angry and left the conversation... I always try to back up my knowledge, and, if i realize that i was wrong, i just say sorry... why is it so hard for certain people to say "sorry, i was wrong"!!
I think i never left the "why?" age that children have when they are young, i'm always asking "why?" and "how?" to other people's opinions, it sometimes gets on their nerves a little...
And again, thanks for reading my post :)
Anytime my friend! It's truly a great post, I hope other readers checked it out! Absolutely, it's essential to know what you're talking about and to care about what you're talking about!
I also love your thoughts on saying sorry! It's better to ask for forgiveness than to never act at all! Haha, me too! I heard from Tim Ferriss a while back about asking why 3 times to get to the real root of an issue or opinion. It really works!
