Right or wrong, in my opinion, is relative to the discussion. Some discussions don’t have a right or wrong which is acceptable as long as we are working from the same set of facts.
Making amends? Do you want to be right or happy? I think we’ve all heard these two things. You can learn so much by asking for help instead of always trying to be right. When I strive for being ‘right’ I usually end up feeling too superior or unhappy, cause I have usually caused pain..
Everyone is in titled to their opinion, is it really so important to be right? Of course it leads to some heated discussions, which I’ve learned to avoid. Being a positive person I can always find the beauty in both sides. Life isn’t a mathematical equation.

Being wrong leads to wisdom.
What a brilliant idea to create this feature – quotes from the books to remind us of the “wisdom of Armand Gamache”. I have been enjoying them immensely. I own the entire series of Gamache books. I treasure them and have re-read them. I am so looking forward to the publication of Grey Wolf!
Louise, if you are indeed the author – how can you be so smart!
If you’re wrong, apologize and make it right
I am slow to make decisions. My husband always says hurry up. If it’s wrong you will have learned something
Happy to join the group!
Being wrong allows learning opportunities
As I spent almost thirty years in the classroom with young children, I soon realized that they needed a “mantra” to encourage them to dare to be wrong. So…..we put up a banner. MISTAKES ARE OPPORTUNITIES FOR LEARNING.
I achieved the possibility of being wrong in my 60s!!!
What a discovery- the world is far more interesting 😂🤣
