Hi James and Neil, You have brought very good points and questions. We always need to know the context in which things are said. Person who is able to change his/her mind is the one who has ability to learn and not be stuck on their ego or assumptions that what he or she knows is the absolute truth. I agree with Neil that people who didn't change their mind changed the world around them. Yet this quote is not about changing mind when it is suitable or not comfortable for us, but when this is a smart thing to do. Bogdan

James: This is where the integrity of the words, the source and the science play a huge role in what one sees in print. Isn't it humbling to learn that what you've put into print people have actally taken for real?

Bogdan, I am sorry if you thought anything I posted was in disagreement with your post. There was no intent to do that at all.

HI Bogdan, Thanks very much for today's quote. Another very good quote indeed! Take care, Marilyn
