Always listen to other people, even if you feel you might disagree with them. You may end up learning more than you thought, and see things in a different way than you did before. Be open to others and their opinions, because the fact they take the time to explain them lets you know they care about your own. All too often these days people shut out the views of others, or take such extreme positions that dialogue with their opponents is impossible. The very nature of human existence is one in which different people must learn to interact - races, sexes, orientations - and all life comes from the union of man and woman, whether it be within a relationship, or through technology helping same sex-couples to have children through that same process. All things worthwhile come from different sides coming together and seeing the differences as a positive, not a negative. So when people around you disagree or tell you that you’re wrong, or you could do better, or that they think you’re not doing as well as you could, listen to them: because while they might not be 100% right, they’re not 100% wrong either.

There is so much to learn from everyone.
