Criticizing is fast and easy. Creating is slow and difficult. The two hours you spent on a book or movie usually took two years to produce. Anyone can tear down someone else's work. The true test of insight is whether you can help them improve it or build something of your own.

We spend too much time trying to change people's minds and too little energy aiming to open them. Changing minds assumes they're wrong. You're pushing them to accept your views. Opening minds assumes there's more to learn. You're inviting them to question their views.
