Are you familiar with the question, "Are you an open minded person" or something like that? In Philippines based on my experiences when someone ask me that question the big chance is He or She is a networking guy. When someone ask you that question the immediate response of the person being asked is something like, No, no I am not into networking or pyramiding etc etc.

But as I assessed the situations I am quite proud of those people who are willing to share many ways how to earn money. Actually I will share some people here who really open my mind not in networking but in the promising opportunity of blogging via steemit.

Honestly, I missed a lot of opportunities that could probably make me successful. Today as I am contemplating my past experiences I recorded some principles that I love to share with you to know if we are possessing a closed mind.

Here are some symptoms of a close minded person.

1 THEY TALK MORE, LISTEN LESS

People are tend to speak 15,000 - 40,000 words per day. People who always wants to talk are probably people who are close minded. They don't even have a time to listen and analyze the situations.

They possessed the so called Pre-conceived idea. They are the people who has an answer even you don't have question yet. Those people who talk more and don't listen are close minded people.

2 THEY ALWAYS CHANGE THE TOPIC

People who always change the topic are more likely closed minded people, why? Because they just want to hear the things that they want to hear not the things that they need to hear.

3 THEY END THE CONVERSATION IMMEDIATELY

If you are a good listener you enjoy the conversation and the person itself but if you are the kind of person who always wants to end the conversation most likely the close minded attitude is now growing in you.

4 THEY THINK THEY ARE ALWAYS RIGHT

Have you seen a person who always right in his or her eyes? It is soooooo dangerous, why? Because their mind is totally and completely closed. They think all of their ideas and suggestions and principles are correct and others are not.

That are four signs if we are a close minded person. When I started opening my mind in lots of opportunities that I never care about before I saw progress in me as a person, I grow in ideas, relationship to others, connections and many more.

This time I want to personally thank my direct and indirect mentors. It is my honor to post it in public and I want them to know that you are my direct and indirect mentor.

I failed, therefore I am an open minded person. Given that I work as a Quality Assurance Specialist I would need to be open minded at all times. I need to listen to what an agent would have to say. There may be times though that I am close minded especially if I am on a debate or argument whenever Quality Peeps do calibration with Managers haha. But yeah, I hope we practice being an open minded, not only for opportunities but also for our own self improvement.

You are correct dear, being open is a sign of growth. Like the principles of business the more shops or branches being open it shows that company is growing. But if shops are closing it is evident it is not growing.

Thanks for sharing and giving us an insight of what are the possible symptoms of an open minded person really appreciate it.

Thanks bro, we'll post more like this soon.

good reading mate got you upvote and follow :) have a nice day...

Thanks buddy,
