Antjo39: Yes it is. There´s not such a more fertile soil for the soul and the mind than that... it gives you the opportunity to learn.
Opinions?


If you're regularly being proved wrong then it probably means that you're not learning anything and that you're quick to voice your opinion on matters which you know nothing about.

And besides, 90% of the time proving somebody wrong achieves nothing. Emotion, humour, sophistry, spin and even tears mean more than real evidence ever could.

lifeisadream: Yes, I dare to say that we all could learn from anyone but I am just not as patient as you are Jac and I am here not to change anyone’s point of view yet I can learn from anyone.

I'm here, at least in part, to challenge my own point of view. That's one of the beauties of being on a site with such a diverse membership group, isn't it?

I like being corrected if I have something wrong.

To be proved wrong,
well

If I think the worst of something, yes it is wonderful to be proven wrong, and something turns out for the positive.

At least I am learning that I suck at something... that is good to know and in some cases it takes your whole bloody lifetime to learn that simple thing...cheers

Sometimes people don't want to learn. Instead of listening for that which will confirm what you know, listen in order to discover something new...learn to unlearn.

BB_snickers: Oddly if it's right to proven wrong, then initially wrong is the right way to be ... rightness is then imminent.

right?

Don't tell antjo tho.
