There was an episode of Leave It to Beaver that aired on Oct. 1,1960 where Beaver refused to eat his brussels sprouts for dinner. He detested them. He would not even try one; instead, as soon as no one was watching, he started to shove them in his shirt pocket,
To be fair, Beaver, a few days later, tried them and liked them. How many times do we detest something or someone without giving the something or a person a chance? We might do well to reconsider our behavior. Maybe that person who you detested is now your best friend. Or the job you detested is now a career. All because you gave that person and job a chance.
