Motivational Power Quote

When Everyone Thinks Alike Nothing is Learned  

“I have never in my life learned anything from any man

who agreed with me.”

Dudley Field Malone 1882 – 1950, American Attorney,

Politician, Actor

 

As I see it . . . . . . .

When everyone thinks alike nothing is learned . . . .

When you’re sitting in a meeting and everyone in the room is agreeing with what’s being said, without asking questions or challenges any portion of the  the conversation . . . . something is being missed.

One . . . . the person that’s leading the meeting is leading the meeting from the prospective of dictating the message and doesn’t want to be questioned or challenged regarding the content of the message.

Or the group of people goes along with group think  . . . . and blindly follows what’s being.

In the above environments information is being transferred . . . . but nothing is being learned.

Knowledge comes in challenging the status quo and in thinking out of the box . . . . Learning occurs when your stretching your thinking asking questions and in trying new things.

When everyone thinks alike nothing is learned . . . . and someone is not contributing to the conversation and not needed to be in the conversation.
