being right
Doc Searls :: "I remember realizing, at about age sixteen or younger, that I would never know everything, and that I should always stay curious about the world and open to facts that challenge my opinions. One might think that this would get harder as one gets older, but it doesn't. It gets easier.
We need our opinions, our certitudes, our belief systems. Can't get along without them. But even belief systems need new information. Being right is overrated. Being open is essential if we wish to grow as human beings. At any age".
