POPSSeeing What You Know Peter Haslam's view on these accounts is that we should be more tolerant to other viewpoints before dismissing it. A good point, but I have something slightly different to say. I find it really striking that the people could not see what they did not know. Most of us struggle with something similar, in my opinion. We only see what we know. I'm not talking about the concrete here, but in terms of visions/dreams or ideas and opportunities. Could it be that we tend to fail to see the things we don't know? And that that is what limits us from trying something new? Maybe. How do you overcome that? Expose yourself to ideas. Hang out with visionaries. When the elders pointed out the ship to the rest of the tribe, they managed to see the ships. Surround yourself with people that can see opportunities and ideas. People who are visionary. You might learn to see new things as well.

POPSPower of saying yes While I do agree that saying yes is good, in the sense that it trains you to take risks and not be afraid, I think saying yes too much can sometimes dilute your focus. I think, as always, it’s a matter of balance. Don’t just say yes for the sake of saying yes. It’s a good practice to train yourself for risk-taking, but for practical purposes it can sometimes distract, in my opinion. Sometimes the smartest thing to do is quit (or say no to) one task to focus on another.
