I was reading an article today by Brian Parsley and I came across the following quote I would like to share:
"Don't try being right every time; work on doing what’s right every time."
Brian was referring to our ability to be humble and learn from situations in our life. He used an example of a manager telling his employee "You are not doing it right." The employee responded with "I have never been taught how to do it right." Both the manager and employee are correct, but they could have accepted humility and overlooked trying to be right. Instead the manager could have offered to teach the employee or the employee could have responded with "Could you please teach me the right way."
There is always a right way and wrong way to respond to situations in our life and trying to work on doing what's right, instead of being right, is a good principle to abide by.
