Is It Always Right To Be Right?

I can't tell you how much time I have wasted, how many people I have angered, and how often I have been wrong...trying to prove I was right. One of the hardest things to learn is when to just shut up and listen. It is often when my mouth is closed and my mind is open, that I learn the most.

Reminds me of a phrase I learned a long time ago. Would you rather be right or wrong? If you are right, you have nothing to gain but to learn you are right and win whatever argument there is. If you are willing to be wrong, you may learn something very valuable.
