We are wrong a lot of times, and we should admit that. Only then can we learn the right answer and grow personally.

We have to face the fact that we are much more often wrong than we are right. This might sound a bit harsh, but this is not a bad thing. It is only natural that we don't know everything, because it takes a lot of time to be an expert at something.

You can try to defend your position and insist on being right, but more often than not, this is not the case. I advise you to consider the fact that you are mistaken regularly.

Only if we learn to accept that we are wrong, are we able to learn the right answer and grow personally. This is a basic principle to continue learning.

The goal is not to be right all the time, but to be a little less wrong each day.

This may be a small idea and sound silly, but if we accept that we can be wrong, we open ourselves up to other opinions and continue to learn from different perspectives.
