Words of Wisdom - 6/26/2017

in psychology •  8 years ago 

"Acquire worldly wisdom and adjust your behavior accordingly. If your new behavior gives you a little temporary unpopularity with your peer group... then to hell with them." ~ Charlie Munger, Poor Charlie's Almanack

"... and adjust your behavior accordingly" is also mirrored by another man... “When someone persuades me that I am wrong, I change my mind. What do you do?” ~ John Maynard Keynes

We are taught to make decisions early and often. This path has many traps. We must try to acquire our wisdom without making a stand until we can argue the opposite point. In doing so, you will guard yourself from confirmation bias and be on our way to worldly wisdom.

What do these words mean to you?
