Opinions.

I had someone challenge me about something I said about the Art business. They were very strong in their opinion so I listened and waited until they finished.

I asked if they were an Artist, they said no.

I asked if they had anything to do with the Art business in any way and they said no.

I asked how they could have such strong opinions about something they knew nothing about?

They looked at me and said, they were talking to some other people about my work and they had all agreed that I was wrong.

There is a great lesson here, they had never read my blogs, watched my videos or heard me speak, yet they had strong opinions about me?

You cannot argue with these people, it is best to say very little to people with uninformed strong opinions, because like zealots they will revert to anger very quickly to prove their point.

When anger comes, reason leaves.

Before we speak to correct or criticise anyone, lets make sure we are fully informed about what we are going to speak to them about, so we don’t open our mouths and make a fool out of ourselves.

Beware of those that have uninformed opinions about something they know nothing about.
