Are You an Opinionated Individual?
I wanted to write a story about what’s trending in Nigeria at the moment, but I found it difficult to organize my thoughts and felt mentally lazy about researching and drafting the article. So I decided to go for a brisk walk to burn some calories and get my heart pumping. I knew there was a higher chance of getting a fresh idea for what to write about while walking or being able to articulate my thoughts when I returned. And guess what? I came up with a new topic to write about, so I had to postpone the one I initially wanted to write about to another day.
A friend of mine posted the image above on his WhatsApp status yesterday. I replied to him and said, ‘This is who I am.’ I stand by my opinion firmly, and I don’t care if I’m the only person in a large group with a different opinion. I won’t change my stance even if there’s nobody on my side.
I’ll only change my stance if I’m presented with a valid opinion that is data-backed and grounded in reality.
