Jason Fried offers great advice about forming opinions:
So next time you hear something, or someone, talk about an idea, pitch an idea, or suggest an idea, give it five minutes. Think about it a little bit before pushing back, before saying it’s too hard or it’s too much work. Those things may be true, but there may be another truth in there too: It may be worth it.
I could certainly stand to heed Fried’s suggestion and become less of a “that’s stupid” person.
