You are always not right
You are always not right
Because
A. You are always right
B. You have arguments in your head and you are always right.
C. You don't argue with anyone.
D. You know everything.
E. Even when people point out you are wrong, your belief and perspective does
not change - hence you are right.
.... Unless you are God, you must have been wrong at some point
- but you don't see it/you are not willing to see.
you are not.
the very fact that you think you you are always
right makes you statement invalid.
and this incident is testament to that.
so there you go, stripped of the title!
feeling light?
I agree. Even I have always been right. Even
with me, there wasn't a single incident to prove me wrong.
That's simply because I consider all the facts and
possibilities before making an answer or a decision. People out there don't
even consider half of the possibilities i consider. That's what increases their
odds of being wrong and me being correct. This might be the case with you too.
A person can believe that they are always
right, but that doesn't make it true. Even the best and greatest of humanity,
make mistakes. If someone was 100% right life would be boring and there really
wouldn't be a need for that person to be here on earth.
No. Being “right” is
fundamentally being correct about the truth of any matter at any given time.
And that is highly fluid as the conventional truth of our society at large is
constantly changing. So for any person to be always right, he or she has to
keep up to breast with the changing of the society at any moment. Common people
are usually not capable of this that results in slip ups are extremely usual.
Second reason is the world is truly too big for any
one person to know everything at one time. If you are a scientist at the front
of any subjects then yes, you can be taken as the authority for this period of
time. But you still wouldn’t be right in everything or “life” as what most
people will try to be right of.
Most of the time, people who thinks they are always right comes
from an inflated ego.
It depends a bit on
why the person always thinks he is always right. It could be that he has vast
experience and success and assumes others cannot surpass his knowledge base
(this happens sometimes with innovators who have built up a wall so as not to
be shut down by people adverse to risks). It could be that “"I am always
right” comes from an ego need to never feel less than someone else, usually
found in a person who has lived through exhorbitant criticism and being made to
feel worthless. It could be something else.
My experience with people
who are always right is to never directly challenge but instead to lead them to
changing their own minds. Remove your own ego from the argument wherever
possible.
One way I do this is
through the passive suggestion. This is an idea or two, put on paper, and
aligned where I can with the person’s own ideas. I leave it in his or her box
and write it as more of a question or request—like “"what do you think
about…?” I find giving time and space often works to help him see other
options. (Time and space: I am not there, he can read it again and again, it
parallels his thinking in some ways, it is posed as a question rather than a
challenge.)
Another way that I
have worked with know-it-alls is to use questioning to more deeply understand
their idea or position. I ask things like:
·
So
what you are saying is…(rephrase his thoughts so he may clarify and get more
precise;
·
Given
your ideas, where would be the best place to begin? (Helping know it all to
consider what actions align with his thinking);
·
and
“"What do you believe is likely to happen next (or as a result of your
idea, or due to what you are saying)?” This puts the prediction out there and
runs a test as to the accuracy of the know-it-all's perceptions. A thinking
know-it-all will be faced with their incorrect prediction (if, in fact, he is
wrong) and will come to terms with having to revise his thinking
Often
times removing my ego and genuinely asking questions in order to truly
understand seems to help the person arrive at new thinking. There have been
rare cases where they actually apologize for prior thinking. And probably more
cases where I have no success at all.
It is mainly because , their
friends and people in surrounding gave them the view that; they are knowledgeable and they are always correct.
This kind of people mostly won't have the ability to accept failure in life . Most
of the persons in this category are short
tempered ; they explain everything in a long detailed
manner but, they want answers in a short and crisp script.
They will get hurted , when they get to know thier point of view is wrong.
We can't
hurt them by showing them that they were wrong with evidence. We
need to show care to them, love to them and make them to belive ; what ever we say for them is always for their
goodness.
Then we need to tell them, what are all the mistakes
they do and we need to carry them with soft hands.
This will make them to
believe in us and thus they can change themselves for us.
Professionally, tell them what
they want to hear. This is called easy money.
In my Personal life however, I avoid these kind of
people like the plague. A person who already knows everything is not going to
help you grow.
Raise the standards for who you let into your life.
