This week I made a video on some helpful advice I learned from Jason Fried’s post “Give It Five Minutes” and SisyphusRedeemed’s lecture “You Have No Idea How Wrong You Are.”

In A Nutshell

Before you attack someones’ idea give it five minutes and think about their opinion. What works and what lessons can you take from the idea to improve your life.

Everyone is wrong, and humans are great at being wrong. No one is ever 100% right. Ideas that were once thought impossible are now possible and commonplace knowledge. Next time you are trying to sell your idea don’t say that you are right and everyone is wrong. You are wrong, but your idea may be closer to the truth and less wrong than everyone else’s opinions.
