Kathryn Schulz: On being wrong | Video on TED.com
Kathryn Schulz: On being wrong | Video on TED.com
Ms. Schulz presents an interesting, thought-provoking topic about being wrong. Think about this: my viewpoint is only what I can see. All my past...my experiences, my beliefs...color my perspective. What would the world be like if we kept that in mind each time we talked to another person? When leaders of countries clashed or when anyone gathered to problem-solve? What would we bring to the table? What could be accomplished if we set aside our "rightness" and listened? Really listened to what another person was saying? Would we learn something new? Would our solutions be more substantial?
What if?
My viewpoint is only what I can see.
