After I read Chapter 6 my attention was caught by the subject of Suspend Judgment. This is the stage for final deep mental reflection. The nature of knowledge requires that you possess some humility about the results of your work, even though you are ready to take action. While you have spent a lot of time and effort to reach a final decision, you must now change your attitude and suspend judgment. Do not fall in love with your concluding decision. Watch for other concepts or trains of thought as you implement your decision. Things are usually not just yes or no, true or false, or good or bad. Wait until you have heard or researched all the data before you reach a conclusion. Don't be misled by the first person's opinion you hear or the first data given to you. Keep an open mind. Remember the shades of gray principle. Things are not exact, but vary in degree of probable exactness.
I like your perspective on this concept! I think one should always try to reflect on this topic or advice. Even when we're set on certain issues, we should always analyze how we arrived at this conclusion. Was it built on logic or emotion? What factors did I take in to account, and what one could I have perhaps missed? It seems the more I spend time with mentors of mine, and grow up more and more, the less I know and the more I have to learn. I usually feel as though I have a pretty good head on my shoulders, but it is some important to reflect on the "grey areas" principle when evaluating things.
