Many of us spend a great deal of time and energy trying to prove that we are right and others are wrong. Many people
21
that it’s their job to show others how their positions, statements, and points of view are
22
, and that on doing so, the person they are correcting is going to somehow
_23
it, or at least learn something. Wrong!
Think about it. Have you ever been
_24
by someone and said to him, “Thank you so much for showing me that I’m wrong and you’re right”? Or, has anyone you know ever
25
you when you corrected them, or made yourself “right” at their
26

27
to be corrected. We all want our position to be

30
are the most loved and respected. Those who are in the
31
of correcting others are often resented(怨恨 ) and
32
.
A wonderful way for becoming more peaceful and loving is to practice
33
others the joy of being right ---give them the glory.

36
. The people in your life will become less defensive and more
37
. They will appreciate you more than you could ever have
38
. You’ll discover the joy of joining in and witnessing other people’s
39
, which is far more rewarding than a battle of egos( 自我 ). Starting today, let others be
“ 40 ”
, most of the time.
