Worldviews

It's amazing to have conversations with people who have different worldviews to me.  A friend of mine is quite anti-Muslim. Every news they hear that concerns that worldview is slanted so that it paints Muslims in an even worse light.  And with western news the way it is, we only get to see the extremist events, which plays into the "there is nothing good about Islam" view.

It is easy to stay in one worldview.  Everything validates the view, as per perception bias.  It's altogether another challenge to see things from another worldview.  It really is a skill and a discipline to be willing to see the other side of the coin.

I still rate the David Wallace Foster speech as it articulates this skill so well.  I think seeing that other worldview is also skill in identifying business opportunities in this world.
