If you’re never wrong, you never grow

Make the effort to learn and change

If you’re never wrong, you never grow. If you look back on yourself from years past, it’s very easy to cringe at the old you. You find a ton of things you would do differently if you only had the chance. But these things are good things. These things prove that you have changed, that you have moved on, that you have grown. If you never make mistakes in the first place, well, you never learn. You never grow.

Similarly, people who don’t make mistakes, or when they make mistakes don’t take responsibility, are destined to repeat their mistakes. If you’re never wrong, you never grow. Being wrong in hindsight isn’t as bad as it’s cracked up to be. If you make an effort to learn and change, that is.
