To create good work, you often have to give more of a shit than you actually truly feel about a subject. Having a strong opinion helps create passion, to hold this opinion loosely means when you are inevitably proved wholly or partially wrong, or see more context than initially available, you don’t dig in on your previous stance. More often than not, the work we create is not subject to life or death decisions. Having good perspective on this is key, but that doesn’t mean that you should approach minor decisions with apathy (also all design [[Ethics are essential to design|should be designed with consideration to ethics]]). The best way to melt through a strongly — wrongly — held opinion is with evidence ([[User Research]] in Design), and a personal ethic of deliberate learning. Being wrong, and changing your mind, always hones your [[Intuition]]. - - - ##### References [[Being comfortable with ignorance can be a powerful way to stay intellectually supple]]
