Kathryn Schulz speaks on how we should embrace our fallibility and that being wrong isn't always wrong.
As you've probably heard, you learn from your mistakes. Mistakes and error is what makes us human. That is why I totally agree with everything that Schulz said in her TED talk. Which is one of the reasons that I really dislike the school's grading system. If you're wrong, you get punished for it with a bad grade. But in all reality, every single person makes mistakes. That shouldn't falter your grade.
The longer I live, the more mistakes that I make. I can admit that being wrong can feel terrible, but why? We all know that we make mistakes. So why does it bother us so much? There are many things that people are wrong about and also many things that people are right about. I was very intrigued by her analogy on how in cartoons when one of the characters walks off of a cliff and doesn't fall until they realize that they're not on solid ground... Is a load like being wrong.
What do you think about being wrong? How does being wrong make you feel? Do you think that being wrong isn't actually "wrong"?
