Aristotle once stated,

2
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:14,600
“It is the mark of an educated mind to be 
able to entertain a thought without accepting 
it.”

3
00:00:14,700 --> 00:00:18,700
This idea has certainly been lost in society 
today.

4
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:26,300
Thoughts that diverge from the acceptable 
public standard often earn ridicule and dislike, 
even hatred.

5
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:30,000
Being close-minded to this extent, however,

6
00:00:30,100 --> 00:00:34,300
is to the detriment of the individual as 
well as the corporate whole.

7
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:39,600
If no one ever listened to others, progress 
would never be made in the world.

8
00:00:39,700 --> 00:00:45,900
That’s why I challenge you today to risk 
listening to ideas you may not understand

9
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,100
in order to find ways to improve yourself 
and those around you.

00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,200
I’m Mac Hammond, and this is the Winner’s 
Minute.
