"Are You Being Right - Even Though You're Wrong? Such self-sabotage is widespread, you see it often. But when the need to be right is exacerbated by the dislike of change, then you get the hilarious comedian's line: I've made up my mind, stop trying to confuse me with the facts! You've seen this in other people, but do you also do it? Whenever you disagree with someone, while refusing to look at their side of the matter, you're Being Right. When you decline to explore new perspectives, insisting you're right despite all evidence to the contrary, you eventually end up frustrated and powerless, see George Bernard Shaw's awesome quote below! Do You Know It All? Insisting you know it all is a recipe for disaster. Don't just accept its thoughts, enjoy the freedom to learn and discover new things instead. In any argument, both you and the other person think you're right. Yet you disagree! But how can you both be right? What a good question! Are you Being Right? The other's context is different to yours, so of course they think differently. You can tell when you're Being Right, you may defend your position emotionally, because your belief has no rational basis. Mind you, you may have the mind-set surprisingly prevalent in our schools, and have been taught what to think rather than learning how to think. Believing others - group think - is a big problem nowadays. Have fun discovering how to overcome your self-sabotage - George Bernard Shaw, (1856-1950) inspirational Irish author and economist HERE IT IS ALL IN ONE NUT SHELL
