When we become close minded, we deny ourselves the opportunity to grow. Truth or fiction?

Very, very true.
Just like our body needs an input of food for us to grow our mind needs to be open to new ideas andthoughts.

Truth. When you have stopped entertaining possibilities, you miss out on growth potentials not otherwise known to you.

truth of course...because we grow through taking risks....if we're close minded and afraid to take risks, we will not progress and we'll not attain what we want to attain.

True. We should always challenge our beliefs and perspectives on everything so we could adapt to the changes that are happening around us.

Truth! of course! A close minded person will not explore the other side of the wall even if he can smell beautiful roses and hear the most amazing melodies and the happiest voices. A closed mind is the wors that can happen to a human being.

Generally true.

There is only one exception I could think of. I saw this film about a serial killer who did not know he was a serial killer.
The doctors said that he could be theoretically hypnotized to recount the killings, but if they did - he could implode and become a vegetable. Because his id could never reconcile with what it was he had become. In this instance, they had a consensus that its better he had a closed mind, safety in the sanitarium. He would not grow with that knowledge. In fact, he'd die.

definitely true

Truth.

When we become close minded, it's as if we refuse to learn or understand the things that we may have prejudices against. And once a person stops learning, he stops growing intellectually, and as a person.

Minds, like parachutes, function best when open.
