Some cool insight into one of the founding fathers. One thing that I've learned about myself as I've grown is that the more I learn about the world, the more I realize that I know nothing.
Coming to this realization, I like to listen more than I talk now, I am always seeking to learn new things and see something from a different perspective. In the 21st century it was baffling to me how much collective knowledge is out there and yet still so much disagreement by people all over the world. So now, whenever I go into a meeting or social situation with new people and do my best to listen and absorb the information coming in before passing any judgment.
This has really helped me to get rid of some of my biases and become more accepting.
