Learning to think first rather than react quick is a life long pursuit.
His response changed my life.
It was a simple thing. He said “Man, give it five minutes.” I asked him what he meant by that? He said, it’s fine to disagree, it’s fine to push back, it’s great to have strong opinions and beliefs, but give my ideas some time to set in before you’re sure you want to argue against them. “Five minutes” represented “think”, not react. He was totally right. I came into the discussion looking to prove something, not learn something.This was a big moment for me.https://medium.com/@jasonfried/give-it-five-minutes-b8115d6f2361
