Recently, I wanted to buy myself a new pair of boots (because, who can have enough shoes, right?).
The moment I started thinking about boots, I saw women everywhere wearing them. On TV, in the streets, at the Glebe markets, everywhere.
The fact is, women with boots WERE ALWAYS there – I just DIDN’T notice them.
This made me think of some of my strident opinions about topics. Many times, I didn’t have the full picture about something – yet I spoke about it like an expert. I assumed I knew everything. I didn’t even consider what I was not seeing.
So I have learnt to keep an open mind. At least this way, I sound less like a crank, and more like an open-minded person. 😄
