dealing with limiting beliefs - Darwin method, a Romanian implementation, and a Chinese saying


Mr. Buffett once noted about the scientist Charles Darwin that 
"whenever he ran into something 
that contradicted a conclusion he cherished, 
he was obliged to write the new finding down 
within 30 minutes. 
Otherwise his mind would work 
to reject the discordant information, 
much as the body rejects transplants. 
Man's natural inclination is to cling to his beliefs, 
particularly if they are reinforced 
by recent experience."
