Why is open mind important?

Answer 1

Keeping an open mind is important because it keeps you open to new ideas, different perspectives and alternative solutions to problems. Sometime people can develop or are habitually into having tunnel vision and they don't want to be confused with anything other than what they are moving toward, their decision, etc. But this can obviously cause problems if there are flaws in their reasoning or if circumstances change or if simply there are better ideas out there if they would just open up enough to let the ideas in.
