" I have rarely learned anything from someone who tells me exactly what they think i want to hear. My wife does not play this game and i am grateful for that "
The Beloved and I have been together since New Year's Eve of '68. She is one of the smartest people I know. There are a lot of things about which we disagree, and like Jruby says you don't learn much from people who agree with you about everything, or are too smarmy to say what they really think.
I really don't like to be wrong, but minimizing error doesn't result from just denying it. To be wrong less of the time requires recognizing when we are - It's hard to correct a problem if you don't acknowledge that it exists.
