Response to Wallace "This is Water"

Personally speaking, I like Wallace’s commencement speech “This is Water” a lot because it teaches us many things. Wallace points out the fact that everyone is self-centered so that is the way we consider the belief, the facts, and the world. Therefore, it is difficult for a person to change other’s viewpoint because they have totally different experience, they form different belief that determine their attitude. I totally agree the author’s statement. In fact, we should not merely think about how to persuade others, how to let your audiences totally agree with your notion, or how to change others’ mind. Everyone is an independent individual that grow in different environment with different background and education. Therefore, exactly same idea is impossible. We should learn to accept different views and respect them. In addition, it is the different ideas that motivate the development of science and society.

I think the article is great and do not have any problem of it.
