Be flexible

Hi,

"The Sages taught: One should always be flexible as a reed, and never stiff as a cedar."

(Talmud, Taanit 20a)

Have a great day,
Mordechai

Change your mind

Hi,

Regarding changing one's mind, when one had intended to withhold aid from others, or to harm them:

"This is the rule for a good person: He recants and nullifies his own [negative] view in the face of the opinion of others based on the needs of the moment, and he is appeased by the requests of others."

(R' Eliezer Papo, Pele Yoetz, "Hen Tzedek")

Have a great day,
Mordechai
