Aim to understand, rather than judge.
By default, many of us operate like jurors, passing
judgment on the actions of others so that we can sort them into categories of
good and bad. Wise people resist
this impulse, operating more like detectives
whose goal is to explain other people’s behaviours. Over time, this emphasis on
understanding rather than evaluating yields an advantage in predicting others’
actions, enabling wise people to offer better advice to others and make better
choices themselves.
