[e-nspirations] Our own opinions

[e-nspirations at jeankelley.com]

********************************************************************
"I have noted that persons with bad judgment are most insistent 
that we do what they think best."
-- Lionel Abel
********************************************************************

Most of us have been in meetings where we experienced that loud 
know-it-all: someone who is used to getting his/her way from loud 
and insensitive behavior. Some of us have even been that person! 
Just because a person is the most forceful in the group doesn't mean 
he/she knows what is best and what is right. The non-dominant voices 
around us are worth hearing.

When we find ourselves getting more and more insistent that we are 
right, it is time to take two steps back from the conversation, put 
our hands in our pockets, open our ears, and think.  Our own opinions 
are just opinions, and rarely are they the only ones infused with 
inspiration, creativity and good judgment.
