We ALL have an opinion... on everything.
The thing is most people do not care about your opinion and for goodness sake do not bother sharing your opinion unless it is asked for. And even then if your opinion differs from the one asking you they will most likely shut you down within the first 60 seconds.
Don’t get me wrong I strongly believe that you should always stand up for what you believe in but you also need to choose your times and know how far to go and ultimately what good will come from it. A lot of people become very passionate when they voice their opinion but sometimes in doing so they may speak to loud or too fast and become intimidating. In those cases you may get your voice heard but you most likely will be either forgotten or simply not asked again.
If you want to truly make a difference try to make it a point to measure Your responses and watch to not take all the air completely out of the room.
Chances are you will not win everyone over , especially right out of the gate and you may even come to the conclusion that they may also have a very good point and at the end of the day no matter what you should always respect other people’s opinions.
You need to fully understand how they were brought and the circumstances to which they were brought up to fully understand where they are coming from and why they may view things the way they do.
Opinions are vital and important and to learn we need to listen to other people’s opinion as well as to voice our own.
