‘Being Wrong’

We can approach life with a more open and accepting mindset. But, don’t forget to hang on to your ethics and values. Here are 7 lessons from the book ‘Being Wrong‘ by Kathryn Schulz.
👉 Accept that we are Fallible 🙏: Accepting that we are capable of making mistakes is like playing basketball 🏀. We know we could miss a shot, but still continue playing.
👉 Embrace Uncertainty 🤷♀️: Embracing uncertainty is like hunting a treasure 🏴☠️, We explore the unknown with an open mind and a willingness to [find it] learn.
👉 Practice Empathy towards others 🤝: Practicing empathy towards others is like being a listener 👂, trying understand their point of view and respecting their perspective. How hard is it?
👉 Recognise & learn from mistakes 🤔: This is like being a chef 👨🍳, adjusting the recipe and improving the dish to make it better. How are in the kitchen?
👉 Challenge confirmation bias 🔍: This is like being ‘Sherlock Holmes’ 🔍, searching for evidences and questioning assumptions to find the truth. So be a good detective!
👉 Overcome cognitive dissonance 😕: It is like solving a puzzle, fitting the pieces together to create a coherent image. Do you like music? How good you are with rythmes?
👉 Find humour in being wrong 🤣: Finding humour in being wrong is like being a comedian 🎭, making light of mistakes to reduce stress and improve morale. Well, be careful here!
Hang on to your ethics and values, and approach life with a more open and accepting mindset, inspiring growth and learning. 📚
