The only way we can really successfully deal with the unpleasant or unknown situations is to stay open minded.
Stay calm. One of the fastest ways to close your mind is to feel annoyed.
Be curious. This sounds easy, but it's not. It requires an active choice when you meet something you didn't know. You have to keep asking yourself. “Do I just assure this is something I already knew? Or do I want to be curious?”
Surround yourself with the right people. Open-mindedness is often thought of as a one way street.
