00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:11,900
When some people hear opinions contrary to 
theirs, they immediately cry foul

00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,900
and assume the other person should stop talking 
so they'll no longer be offended.

00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:24,300
Avoiding conflict will become exhausting, 
because this world is filled with opinions 
different from your own.

00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:30,600
You'll never be able to expand your thinking 
if you aren’t open to listening to people 
with different ideas.

5
00:00:30,700 --> 00:00:40,600
That’s why we must learn to deal with offense 
well. If someone disagrees with you, know 
that you can listen to them without changing 
your beliefs.

00:00:40,700 --> 00:00:44,900
In fact, you can walk away knowing that you 
disagree—and that’s okay.

00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:53,300
As Tim Barton once pointed out, “Offensive 
does not equal wrong.” I’m Mac Hammond, and 
this is the Winner’s Minute.
