"To me, it’s pointless when people get angry with each other when they disagree because most disagreements aren’t threats as much as opportunities for learning. People who change their minds because they learned something are the winners, whereas those who stubbornly refuse to learn are the losers. That doesn’t mean that you should blindly accept others’ conclusions. You should be what I call open-minded and assertive at the same time—you
should hold and explore conflicting possibilities in your mind while moving fluidly toward whatever is likely to be true based on what you learn. Some people can do this easily while others can’t. A good exercise to make sure that you are doing this well is to describe back to the person you are disagreeing with their own perspective. If they agree that you’ve got it, then you’re in good shape. I also recommend that both parties observe a “two- minute rule” in which neither interrupts the other, so they both have time to get all their thoughts out.
在我看来,人们在发生分歧时变得愤怒是毫 无意义的,因为大多数分歧与其说是威胁,不如 说是学习的机会。在学到东西后改变想法的人是
赢家,顽固拒绝学习的人是输家。这不是说你应 该盲目接受其他人的结论。在我看来,你既要头 脑开放也要坚定:
你既应该考虑和思索各种相互 冲突的可能性,也应根据了解到的情况,随时迅 速地调整自己的想法,接受可能正确的东西。有 的人能轻易做到这一点,其他人却不行。一种检 验你做得好不好的方式是,把和你有分歧的人的 观点,向对方复述一遍。如果他说你复述得对, 就说明你做得很好。我还建议双方都遵守“两分 钟法则”,两分钟内不许打断对方,以便对方有 时间把想法说清楚。"
