Do you know what I like? I like to admit when I'm wrong without excuses (explanations don't count).

I'm wrong a lot, and I like surprising people with how easy admit it, and they are almost always surprised (can I admit that I like seeing the surprised look on their face? I do). 

I just say, "You're right, I was wrong about that." Nice and simple. It feels good to just lay it out like that.

I'll be saying that at tomorrow night's rehearsal. I was wrong to consider the Foolapalooza! as just a gig, and not an event. It was a great event, got us new fans, made us some money. 

Now, people think I am heavily invested in being right, which actually isn't true, although I understand why they think so. Because I usually know why I have a certain opinion, in any discussion, I am prepared to debate, even argue my point of view. Because I can 'argue my case' with conviction, people think I am not open-minded. Not the case. I can be convinced of another perspective.

But I don't mind being wrong, not at all. I don't mind being given the opportunity to examine a new point of view, new information, or a different interpretation. I don't mind being convinced of a position other than the one I started out with.

II don't think it is bad to be wrong (I'm not talking about doing wrong, that is bad). But realizing you had a wrong idea, notion, impression, etc. is growth, self-improvement.

And whoever reveals your error has done you a favor, right? A big favor.

Right.
