Do you want to be right or do you want to win, and no you cannot have both.
Taken literally, your statement equates winning with being wrong.
I would say one has to let go of one's need to be right, or proven right, or accepted as right, as a poor use of limited time and energy. But it's damned important to have integrity and standards that actually guide you. I fear the disapproval of only one person ultimately: me.
You know it can sometimes be like white lies. Do we want and need to hurt someone or not.
Winning is competitive. I don't need to compete. But for proper sleep.. I need to be right.
I don't mind being wrong, because that is usually when I learn something new. If you think you are never wrong, you do not learn much, and likely it is just pig headedness.
Yes, the pigheadness is a difficult one to get over.
I may not always be right.
But i'm never wrong.
@misterinvisible I can see pigheadedness in its full force there, he, he.
@Jolanta i strongly resemble that remark!
@Jolanta i can cop to not always being right
It depends how much of my ethics and morals I have to abandon to be a winner. Winning without ethics and morals is a foul repast. Its hard to get that bad tasste out of your mouth.
People who do right never win?
Sometimes they don't. You know the saying don't cut your nose of to spite your face.
