Do you feel the need to be right in a conversation?
Most people do feel that need.
Why do we need to be right when we talk with others?
We don’t listen to learn and understand. We only wait for our moment to reply.
“Listen with the intent to understand, not the intent to reply.”
– Stephen Covey
When you choose to be right, you choose your ego instead of building your relation with that person.
“You can be right or you can be happy.”
– Gerald Jampolsky
Before you do your best to be right, think a little more about that bad habit. Are you sure that what you’ll say will help in anyway. If so, find a way to say it without attacking and hurting.
