Seek Truth, Not Approval
Focusing on changing someone's mind, like a politician, leads to seeking approval rather than seeking truth. Spending a lot of time in politician mode hinders personal growth and learning. In contrast, the scientist mode, characterized by seeking truth over approval, is crucial for investors to make informed decisions and discover the reality of situations.
