The Hidden Cost of Being Right
The moment you stop needing to be right is when you start being successful.
Dear Unlearners,
Most people would rather be right than rich.
They'd rather be right than happy.
They'd rather be right than successful.
Being right feels good. It validates our worldview, our choices, our ego.
But being right is expensive.
When you're right, you stop listening.
When you're right, you stop experimenting.
When you're right, you stop growing.
The most successful people I know are comfortable being wrong. They seek out evidence that contradicts their beliefs. They change their minds often.
Being right is a luxury you can't afford.
Until tomorrow,
Cammi

You are RIGHT! LOL
Youβre right, Cammi! π
Proving someone is wrong immediately destroys the atmosphere and energy of the environment. A different approach is to investigate their different perspectives and relearn or improve your ideas.
