Can you be wrong? Can you handle the truth?
1. To succeed, face the fact that you are sometimes wrong. Get rid of any ideas that you must always be right about everything.
2. Show you are more interested in being correct than "right." Be proud when you discover you are wrong. You are learning from experience and expanding your knowledge.
3. When you make a mistake or are wrong about something, be the first to admit it. Do it quickly and take a new, more accurate position. You are no longer wrong after you change your mind about an incorrect idea.
4. If people try to correct you, do not assume they are trying to make you wrong. Instead, assume they are trying to help you. If their intentions seem genuine, accept their help.
5. Replace your purpose of being right with more constructive purposes: helping people, increasing your knowledge, improving your job skills, earning more money, creating a valuable company and so on.
You succeed when you are willing to be wrong. You can then find the truth and be correct.
Give it a try. Be wrong about something today!
