- to a matter of fact: "Now, I may be wrong about this. I
- frequently am wrong about things. But this is the way it appears
- to me:" (And then state your beliefs.)
-
- By admitting you may be wrong, and by admitting that you
- frequently are wrong (You are, you know. We all are.), you
- almost force the other person to admit that he, too, may be
- wrong! Then, with egos out of the way, you can both search
- objectively for the truth!
-
- And if you really are wrong this time, it will be much less
- embarrassing for you than if you had been stubbornly insisting
- that you were totally right!
