“You’re wrong!” Words no one wants or likes to hear.
But admitting when you’re wrong is such an underutilized skill.
We all hate to be wrong. It’s an unpleasant experience that most of us would prefer to avoid. In fact, we often go to great lengths to defend our beliefs — even when they may be holding us back.
As Mark Twain once said: “What gets us into trouble is not what we don’t know. It’s what we know for sure that just ain’t so.”
Every day we all make mistakes or are wrong about something! We can’t always be right because no one in the world is perfect. So learning how to be wrong is a skill we can all work on and it might just make life a little more peaceful.
