The right words at the right time - Ted Turner
The founder of CNN in the book describes the time in college when a lecturer gathered the new students in a circle and told the new students to "THINK FOR YOURSELF". Simple words, but profound ones for Ted who realised that taking ownership for his opinins was what mattered. And off he went.I like people who hold strong opinions. They challenge me, make me have to think for myself too. The world needs people with opinions, to balance the closed thinkers, the people whose opinion is what they read in todays paper.

We have much to learn from different perspectives. IMO we can learn SOMETHING from everyone as truly listening is more important than expressing in this regard.
I have had those discussions w/ people that are so into appearing open minded and as a good discussion partner yet hold such strong/unshakeable opinions that it is imposible to hold a good indepth conversation let alone a debate.
