from Nada School Saturday Lecture 2014 Listen to the opinions of others reserving judgment and write them down.

  • In order to notice blind spots, it is useful to ask others for their opinions reserving judgment and write them down.
  • I’ve asked people, “What do you think about this problem?” When I ask someone “What do you think about this problem?” and I get a response, I tend to repulsion and say “No, that’s not what I was looking for” or “That’s not a valid solution, so it’s useless” or shutting out and throw away the question. For some reason, I tend to do such a wasteful thing.
  • Instead, take “at least this person thinks this” or “this person thinks this is relevant” and write it down, and then think about it carefully. #Listening
