Gentlemen: Repeat after me….”I was wrong.”  Now, doesn’t that feel better?  I knew you would like it once you tried it.

I have the advantage of living with very, very smart women around me, which means that I need never entertain a flawed opinion for long.  It’s actually quite liberating if you think about it.  I’m free to throw a bunch of crap at the wall and see what sticks.  Key to that mentality is understanding that I can be wrong, even frequently so, without people thinking me stupid.  In short, I don’t mix ego with opinion.

The result is that I am a somewhat emancipated thinker.  I can come up with some creative things that others would never arrive at simply because I have very little fear of gigantic intellectual failure.  It’s all very “keep-moving-forward-esque,” ala Meet The Robinsons.

And, if you think about it, the more you are wrong, the more right you are….in the long run.
