You can't always be right
<p><br/></p><p>Nobody is perfect, and that means nobody can be right all the time. It’s tempting to think you have all the answers, especially when you feel confident or have experience. But being wrong is part of being human, and it’s not something to fear—it’s something to learn from.</p><p><br/></p><p>First, the world is complex. There are so many perspectives, facts, and situations that one person can’t know everything. You might think you’re right about something, but someone else’s view could show you a side you never considered. For example, you might argue about the best way to solve a problem, only to realize later that another approach worked better. Being open to other ideas helps you grow.</p><p><br/></p><p>Second, being wrong teaches you humility. If you insist on always being right, you might push people away or miss out on learning. Admitting you’re wrong shows strength, not weakness. It builds trust with others because they see you’re honest and willing to improve.</p><p><br/></p><p>Third, mistakes lead to progress. Many great discoveries happened because someone was wrong and kept trying. If you’re afraid of being wrong, you might never take risks or try new things. Being wrong can push you to ask questions, learn more, and find better solutions.</p><p><br/></p><p>Finally, always trying to be right can make you stubborn. It can close your mind to new possibilities and make you defensive. Instead, listening and learning from others—even when you disagree—makes you wiser.</p><p><br/></p><p>You can’t always be right, and that’s okay. Embracing your mistakes, staying open to others, and learning from failure is how you become better. Life isn’t about being perfect; it’s about growing, connecting, and finding truth together.</p>
