If there is any one secret of success, it lies in the ability to get the other person’s point of view and see things from that person’s angle as well as from your own. – Henry Ford, Founder Ford Motor Company
When you are enthusiastic about something or committed to a purpose, you might experience tunnel vision without even being aware of it. Whatever anyone else says or tries to explain to you can get overplayed by your own drive for what you are involved in. And that might lead to you missing out on valuable feedback, input, ideas to make what you do even better.
On the other hand, when you pay too much attention to what others say, you might end up being completely distracted from your goals and explaining more than actually investing your energy in making progress. Where is the right balance? If there is any one secret of success, it lies in the ability to get the other person’s point of view and see things from that person’s angle as well as from your own.
