No matter what your philosophy of life is, you will need to be open to new ideas and different types of thinking today. Someone very influential in your work or school could help you move farther along on your path, but they don't feel the same way as you do about a lot of important topics. You need to accept this: you can't change people's minds about things that are important to them, so don't even try. But don't just agree with them in order to earn their favor, either.
