When we deal with open mind we let our judgement to be based on facts presented than be led by our preconceived notions. Open mind allows us to let all aspects of an issue to come to the fore before deciding. Preconceived notions will let in only those points, which we want.
Preconceived notions are normally based on hearsay. Somebody’s experience becomes our basis of judgement. Our mind gets conditioned as per that person’s experience, bad for bad or good for good. This is not true in most of the cases.
Experiencing is a relative thing. It varies from person to person & situation to situation. One persons experience will not be same as other persons. Thus we should avoid forming an opinion based on other persons or our own prejudiced opinions.
Sometimes preconceived notion warns & cautions us about lurking hurdles or danger. This is true, only if the inbuilt qualities of that particular thing of situation are such.
In inter personal relations it is not advisable. We should have an open mind. We should treat every person & situation as special. Then only we can start on an even keel. Every person has good qualities & this should be the basis of our interaction. We feel touchy & irritable when anyone talks rudely or misbehaves with us when we are under stress. Same should be true when dealing with others.
Basis of our interaction should be that nobody in this world is 100% happy or without any problems & everybody has a good side to him. This will help us start on a positive note. This will also help us understand the mental turmoil or tension the other person is going thru. Success depends on putting your right foot forward & the first step plays a vital role.
