What do you think about Seth Godin's philosophy of asking advice?

Alison's Contribution:

Asking for advice/feedback is great. 

My opinion of the article is that we need to think about how we think. As Seth points out, many people only feel comfortable in only one main mode of thinking - eg always critical, always looking for the positive. 

I wonder how much better the world would be if we honed our thinking skills so that we could view all problems and solutions from multiple viewpoints. 

No doubt you'll get tired of me pointing to deBono Thinking Hats - it's the best resource I've found for a universally understood system of thinking. Thank the educators who are using it in schools so that children will be able to spot their own styles as well as the styles of those around them.
