I guess by objectivity the idea is that emotions are taken out of the equation. The whole idea with the Colonel Sanders is that when rejected he had two objective choices be happy that he failed and accept and do nothing about it or try to change that failure. Objectivity means that either one side is right or both are right or neither side is right. 751237@blogcritics.org Tue, 23 Sep 2008 14:11:20 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/12/09/140130.php#comment-736107 John, you may never read this, but the statement you made about Colonel Sanders was not objective. Because Colonel Sanders BELIEVED his chicken recipe was good, he was being subjective. It is his opinion and belief and hope that his chicken is good, and luckily for him, he found people to agree and then advertisers to ensure the general public would follow suit. Just because something is popular does not mean it is fact. I, in fact, know people who do not enjoy Kentucky Fried Chicken. Yet, that did not change the subjective views of many. I do agree that in life you accept the things you cannot change and change the things you can. But even that is subjective - who decides what can and cannot be changed? The individual. Based on their subjective views, hopes, opinios, emotions, etc. Just sayin' :-) 736107@blogcritics.org Tue, 29 Jul 2008 23:24:08 EDT
