QotD: I Was Wrong
How often are you wrong? Do you find it difficult to admit it when you are?

I don't walk around with 'sources' or have a staff of fact checkers so I'd have to say I've got moments where I'm wrong. We all do. No one is impervious to being wrong and no one should be ashamed of being wrong. It happens. It's life. Suck it up!
I'm not afraid of being wrong. I'm not ashamed to be wrong. I'd rather admit being wrong or stand corrected than act like an ass about it. Being wrong is a bit of a reminder that learning never ends...
When it comes to having a say, I try not throwing in any chips unless I'm relatively to absolutely certain -- learning towards absolute certainty (which bothers people sometimes). If I'm relatively certain, I preface anything I say with "I think" and end with "again, I'm not certain -- check it out for yourself".
When it comes to opinion, since it's an opinion, I never claim to be right -- I try to claim things as my opinion.
