As I mentioned in class, we would encounter ideas that are radically different from our own, they may come from our family members or our friends or people around us. When someone challenges our viewpoints, some would get aggressive and try hard to defend their own ideas, while others are willing to embrace new and novel ideas and incorporate them into their own existing knowledge and understanding of the world if their own ideas are wrong. If you were in a similar situation where someone downplay your ideas, what would be your attitude—hold on firm to your own ideas or be willing to change your mind? Why?
Ross
I think if others are persuasive, I would be willing to change my mind. We have to admit that we don’t know everything and the things we do know may not be true. To become a better person, we should be open-minded towards different voices. For example, if scientists hold firm to their own beliefs, we would be living with all kinds of false hypotheses.
Jack
I would probably fight back if others challenge my guiding principles or core values. Because it feels devastated to have our beliefs demolished by others. We would lose our confidence or even our identity if we just give in or compromise. Also, there are weasels and losers out there that are trying to pull us down by attacking our deepest-held beliefs. They make themselves feel better this way.

Section Title: 6 文章修订
In my perspective, maintaining a steadfast commitment to one's own ideas is crucial. I firmly believe that my decisions are the most suitable for me, as the adage suggests pursuing one's aspirations regardless of others' opinions. If one is easily swayed by external perspectives, it may lead to abandoning their dreams. This is because there will always be individuals who encourage giving up on one's goals. Only those who have a clear understanding of their desires can ultimately achieve them. Additionally, defending one's stance can be highly beneficial.
If someone presents a persuasive argument against your viewpoint, it is essential not to immediately change your stance but instead engage in a debate with them. Through this process, you may discover that their opinions are only partially or superficially correct. Debating allows for a deeper understanding of your convictions and provides an opportunity to validate them.
For instance, I disagree with Ross's opinion as it appears overly idealistic. She uses scientists as an example but only addresses one aspect of their mindset. I would challenge her by asking if scientists were easily influenced, would long-standing theories still exist? Would established truths be overturned and deemed incorrect? Engaging in such discussions strengthens our beliefs and contributes to intellectual growth.
It is vital to remember that your convictions are sacred, your decisions well-considered, and your dedication to your passions will make your efforts worthwhile. In essence, when others claim that your position is incorrect, strive to defend it robustly. By doing so, you will reinforce your beliefs more firmly and pave the way towards realizing your dreams.
