[Quote No.44597] Need Area: Friends > Conversation
"[Freedom of opinion, thought, speech, expression, the press and censorship:] One of the greatest sources of problems in our society arises from people having loads of wrong theories in their heads — often theories that are critical of others — that they won't test by speaking to the relevant people about them. Instead, they talk behind people's backs, which leads to pervasive misinformation. I learned to hate this because I could see that making judgments about people so that they are tried and sentenced in your head, without asking them for their perspective, is both unethical and unproductive. So I learned to love real integrity (saying the same things as one believes) and to despise the lack of it." - Ray Dalio
(1949 - ), American businessman and founder of the world's largest hedge fund, Bridgewater Associates.[http://www.bwater.com/Uploads/FileManager/Principles/Bridgewater-Associates-Ray-Dalio-Principles.pdf ]

[Quote No.44599] Need Area: Friends > Conversation
"[Honesty, freedom, individuality, authenticity and being yourself, so long as you don't hurt another's physical person or property:] People who are one way on the inside and believe that they need to be another way outside to please others become conflicted and often lose touch with what they really think and feel. It's difficult for them to be happy and almost impossible for them to be at their best." -
(1949 - ), American businessman and founder of the world's largest hedge fund, Bridgewater Associates. Quote from his book, 'Principles'. [http://www.bwater.com/Uploads/FileManager/Principles/Bridgewater-Associates-Ray-Dalio-Principles.pdf ]

[Quote No.44603] Need Area: Friends > Conversation
"Never say anything about a person you wouldn't say to them directly, and don't try people without accusing them to their face. Badmouthing people behind their backs shows a serious lack of integrity and is counterproductive. It doesn't yield any beneficial change, and it subverts both the people you are badmouthing and the environment as a whole." - Ray Dalio

[Quote No.44608] Need Area: Friends > Conversation
"[Before trusting your own thinking or offering another your opinion] Ask yourself whether you have earned the right to have an opinion [that you and others can trust]. Opinions are easy to produce, so bad ones abound [and therefore it is sensible to be skeptical until proven otherwise]. Knowing that you don't know something is nearly as valuable as knowing it. The worst situation is thinking you know something when you don't!" - Ray Dalio

[Quote No.44609] Need Area: Friends > Conversation
"Distinguish open-minded people from closed-minded people. Open-minded people seek to learn by asking questions; they realize that what they know is little in relation to what there is to know and recognize that they might be wrong. Closed-minded people always tell you what they know, even if they know hardly anything about the subject being discussed. They are typically made uncomfortable by being around those who know a lot more about a subject, unlike open-minded people who are thrilled by such company." - Ray Dalio

[Quote No.44619] Need Area: Friends > Conversation
"The first step to creating peace is the way we talk to others. The contents of what we say and the tone of voice in which we say it, will be key factors in whether a disagreement or displeasure is expressed with mutual respect or not." - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin

[Quote No.44623] Need Area: Friends > Conversation
"[Freedom of opinion, thought, speech, expression, press and censorship:] People can have diverse opinions. They can have different personalities. They can have different goals and objectives. Even so, they can choose to interact in peaceful ways, and discuss their differences with mutual respect. At times they will work out solutions to their mutual satisfaction, and at times they will not. Nevertheless, they can be calm, and think clearly about the wisest course to take." - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin
An excerpt from his book, 'Growth through Tehillim: Exploring Psalms for Life Transforming Thoughts', p92.

"The tragedy in the lives of most of us is that we go through life walking down a high-walled land with people of our own kind, the same economic situation, the same national background and education and religious outlook. And beyond those walls, all humanity lies, unknown and unseen, and untouched by our restricted and impoverished lives. [Every person we meet expands our experience and understanding of the world, others and ourselves.]" - Florence Luscomb
