"Do you make a decision and stick to it, undisturbed by others, or is there room for manoeuvre? Do you listen and learn, or are you certain on your way/method/choice…? This is a thread for open debate, and is hopefully a learning experience. " Open to learning and understanding | |||

"I have convictions in my decisions as I’m not really a spontaneous person. But I am always open to be challenged and different perspectives. We all have different experiences and to remain curious in life is how we grow and develop " I like this, the ability to remain curious | |||

"I very rarely if ever change my opinion in relation to an online conversation or debate because nobody has ever walked in my shoes and can't therefore convince me that their way is better. If it's a subject that I know little about I won't have a strong opinion so I'm open to other views. If it's a subject I feel strongly about then my own personal experience will always win out over someone else's. " I think that is probably the way for a lot of us? | |||

"I like to take people with me on my bus... I'll go out of my way to help them get on it, but at the end of the day I'll happily set and reach my own destination and let them do their thing. I hate being defined and having expectations thrust upon me, so i get why others wouldn't too At work i can be very persuasive ... It's rare it's not my way " Just to add to that .. I like to think critically and try to explore all possibilities, so i pretty much have chosen the 'best' option before setting my course, which helps immensely at work | |||

"It very much depends on the situation and whether additional information changes my perspective and therefore my decision. I enjoy learning about new things and open discussions. I have different opinions and views on some things now than I had in my 20s." This ^^^ Discussion is good. Particularly with people who hold the opposite view IMHO, because it makes you think properly about your own perspective and forces you to to justify your position rationally. We are all guilty of inheriting opinions from our parents, peers and environment. Sometimes, being challenged to defend them makes you realise that you’re wrong and the other party is right. Of course, some people would rather die than admit they’re wrong, because the dogma they’re indoctrinated with is too deeply set. | |||

"Do you make a decision and stick to it, undisturbed by others, or is there room for manoeuvre? Do you listen and learn, or are you certain on your way/method/choice…? This is a thread for open debate, and is hopefully a learning experience. " From a moral point of view...it's my way or the highway, I'm at an age where my morals and principles are unlikely to change. If we talk about ideas , opinions, thoughts...I'm opened minded and always willing to grow intellectually | |||
