Healthy Skeptics Welcome
Thursday, February 11th, 2010
 I recieved lots of responses to the post about “Cynics” - evidence that far too many of us are dealing with far too many of them! I wanted to share this comment from Jodee Bock where she says no to cynics but yes to skeptics.
Kirk, This has been a topic of dialogue in several of my groups recently. We have determined that there is no place for cynicism in a world pursuing success as you and Mike have defined it (or as Napoleon Hill defines it: “Attainment of your definite chief aim without violating the rights of other people”) but there’s plenty of room for healthy skepticism, which implies a mind open to learning. After all, learning = change. If there has been no change (and that includes changing your mind), then there has been no learning. Our groups in Fargo are all about learning and expanding and growing, so our skeptics actually have a huge role in our collective growth whereas cynics just don’t really stick around too long.
