One of my friends who worked at Apple for a number of years recalled Steve Jobs’s ability to change his mind on the turn of a dime when a better solution was presented—he didn’t get stuck with an operating mode just because it had been one that was working. He had famously strong opinions, but he was also able to detach from them. In this way, Steve was the embodiment of the famous advice to have “strong opinions, weakly held.” Only by letting go are you able to truly attempt a new perspective of your venture before you quit.
