[1]Some advice from Jeff Bezos:

     He said people who were right a lot of the time were people who
     often changed their minds. He doesn't think consistency of thought
     is a particularly positive trait. It's perfectly
     healthy - encouraged, even - to have an idea tomorrow that
     contradicted your idea today.

     He's observed that the smartest people are constantly revising their
     understanding, reconsidering a problem they thought they'd already
     solved. They're open to new points of view, new information, new
     ideas, contradictions, and challenges to their own way of thinking.

   I was talking yesterday morning with a young new hire. She asked me how
   I share my opinions with people, the implication being that I do it in
   an atypical way compared to most Japanese. I talked on a bit, I hope
   not too long, but in my musings I covered essentially the above.

   This was also something we talked about a lot on the late, lamented PVC
   Security podcast.

     This doesn't mean you shouldn't have a well formed point of view,
     but it means you should consider your point of view as temporary.

   [3]Mind Like Water, indeed.
