WORKSHEET
Seeking out someone who will agree with our ideas, even those that make no sense is a common behavior of many of us. Cosmos makes a point of the fact that the first crane never questions the elf’s suggestions.
Even when someone tells you what you want to hear, if it makes no sense, ques on it.
But of course, in our fable that is not what happened. A Health Skep cism of the opinions of others is the quality Cosmos is sugges ng.
Don’t accept the sugges ons or opinions of others at face value if you have any doubts. The Cantdo Cranes failed to do that and you know what happened to them.
