Admitting You Were Wrong

[Medic!]

It seems like this thread was just started yesterday. That's what happens when time flies

You know what they say.

Times fun, whey you're having flies.

.... I learn from my mistakes...

Me, too. That's why I'm so smart.

Consider also that apologizing to someone says as much about them as it does yourself.

HUH..!…

…. It's never come up yet, but, I'm sure I'll handle it perfectly should the need somehow arise.

Equally to admitting being wrong, is saying thank you. It seems both are lost skills lately.

 

[The Heretic]

Adults used to be able to admit when they were wrong. When they'd made a mistake. Now? It seems to be a rare trait.

When was the last time you admitted you were wrong? Is it a big deal to you?

This came up because I was apologizing to a friend of mine recently and he profusely thanked me for it and said, "No one does that anymore!"

I learned a long time ago, that it was easier to admit a mistake, than it was to hide it. Also, it often precludes someone using the mistake against you. This is especially true in the workplace.

That said, I am pretty stubborn about what I believe to be true.

Some people mistake this to an inability to admit I am wrong. It isn't.

To avoid being wrong, before every decision I apply the WWSD strategy….
……it usually involves symmetry and the oh so powerful KNIFE HAND!

Double Knife Hand! What does it mean?

WWSD - What - Would - @Stomper - Do
