An open mind is good thing – most of the time. New ideas, new experience, increased knowledge, personal and professional growth, better relationships and an overall positive approach to life are just a few of the gains of having an open mind. However, there are numerous pitfalls. Like an open window or an open door in which bugs may enter the home, an open mind is susceptible to litter, junk, lies and deceptions, untrue info and misdirection. The open mind, like an open window, needs a screen to keep the bugs out. The mental screen is called “discrimination.” It is an attribute everyone has. Discrimination is the capacity to see differences. Like any tool, discrimination may be used wisely or foolishly, for good or for bad. Unless we want our open mind filled with all kinds of non-sense, we ought to learn to discern amongst what is of authenti value and what is junk. You might say that our discriminative capacity is like an email spam filter. We may set the parameters to filter out the junk and let in the utile information. Generally, what is essential to us is considered utile and gets through. What is indispensable to you? An open mind, with a screen to prevent the bugs from entering, or a spam filter to block the junk, is a wondrous thing.

The open mind is likewise susceptible to a lack of conviction. Too some conflicting ideas may enter an open mind and cause indecision. It is necessary now and then to close the mind, disallow any more input, make a decision and act. Perhaps more crucial than having an open mind is having a mind that is competent of being open – or closed. We need a mind with hinges – well lubricated and in good working order. The hinges of our mind is our capacity to decide. We may determine to receive or reject information. We may determine to consider a point of view or not. We may determine to open or close the window. A home would become cold and drafty if the doors and windows could not be closed now and then. But, it would be awfully stuffy if they could not be opened. We merely determine to open or close the window – or the mind. But, our decision ought to be made from intelligence and reason, not aroused reactions. An in an emotional manner reactive person would likely open the doors and windows for the duration of a blizzard – or close the mind to beneficial information.It’s the mind that remains closed that prevents originative growth.

It’s the closed mind that stated in the late 1870′s that the telephone had too a good deal of shortcomings to be severely considered as a communicating device or in the early 1970′s that no one would ever want a computer in their home. Charles Duell, the Commissioner of the U.S. Office of Patents in 1899 said “Everything that may be invented has been invented.” In 1981, Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, said “640K ought to be sufficient for anybody.” Even the most visionary person may close their mind to possibilities. Perhaps there is a bit more venture in keeping the mind open, just as smiling requires a little more muscle movement. But, the results of a smile are so ofttimes rewarding – and the fruits of an open mind may be very enriching. Despite the divinations of “experts” cited above, it appears the mind will strive to be open and will move forward into new experiences hitherto thought unavailable or unreachable.

Ultimately, the cons of an open mind may be dealt with and the masters of an open mind are too primary to neglect. As Charles Kettering, the American engineer and inventor said, “Where there is an open mind, there will be a frontier.” Living as we do on the verge of international catastrophes, we need a frontier. We need a imaginativeness of a better future, and a path towards that future. For that, we will need an open mind.

Rigid Standard Shop Vac Filter
By Camera guy
For the big stuff, this filter works great. However, if using on projects in the house, spend more and get the Rigid Fine Dust Filter, otherwise, the house will get coated with dust each time you fire up your Rigid shop vacuum, even if you are picking up only the big debris.

Simple
By N. Senkowski
Easy to install

It is just the filter, so if you do not have the black plate and little white piece to screw it in place buy those as well.

No problem observed upon installation
By JPN
Some persons have had difficultness installing this filter. It seemed that the manufacturer had made minor changes for the filter or the peripheral components. I checked Ridgid’s IPC and Googled each percentage number to make sure that I get the rectify parts. The filter, filter cage, float, filter plate and the plate nut fit as they must and the VC is working well.
