COT:
We lined up according to age 2 by being told to. We then on the 3rd time didn’t. So we had to pay the tax and line up. The 4,5 time we lined up. We are told that in life you must do this or that and you need to stay in your lane. And in some instances that may be applicable, but in life, if you want to do something or be somebody do it. If you want to accomplish something, do it. Do not let anyone tell you that you can not do it.

COT:
As a kid in the late 80s, I believed Shawon Dunston was the greatest shortstop in baseball. The only channel in my hometown showing baseball consistently was WGN, so when I formed my opinion on shortstops, Shawon Dunston was all I knew. I made the decision with all the data I had at the time.
Over the summer, when I started getting dropped off at the babysitter at like 6:30am, and I watched ESPN Sports Center on repeat for hours. With that, I gained new information, like Barry Larkin, Ozzie Smith, and Alan Trammel. New evidence challenged my opinion.

I remember thinking, even as a kid, that I couldn’t change my opinion. I had previously told everyone that Dunston was the best, so what would they think if I changed what I’d been saying? Also, I remember feeling that if I could be wrong about Dunston, what else could I have been wrong about?

When you form an opinion or make a decision, you do so with all the information you have at the time. But, we should recognize that we all do so with incomplete data. Over time, as you learn more information, you should use it and re-examine your opinion or decision. That can be hard, because there are social pressures that come changing what you’ve said, and personal stress of questioning what you’ve believed to be true.
Adam Grant write a book called “Think Again”, which gets into this concept at a deeper level than baseball players, so I encourage everyone to give it a read, or at least find a YouTube summary of the book. www.barnesandnoble.com/w/think-again-adam-grant/1137570667;jsessionid=9D0766EB363B1AD226CA5CB402E75340.prodny_store02-atgap16?ean=9780143138525
