![]() We all know a person who is Mr. or Mrs. Always Right. Well, in my immediate family, I am that person. I even have the t-shirt with the slogan on it. Now, don't get me wrong, my percentage of rightness is about 90%. Yet, my family tends to not appreciate when I am right. However, I am not an "I told you so" person. But I do like to hear "You were Right". So, recently, I experienced a Mrs. Always Right, who was on another level. She even stated "I am usually always right". She just would not listen to anyone else - because she decided she was right. I became more of an observed participant in this setting. But, it caused me to think - Is it important to be "Always Right" or is it more important for each person to be heard during the conversation? At some point others will no longer feel free to communicate with you. I mean, what's the point? Let's face it - you're probably right! As I continue to work on relationships and communication skills - especially with the ones I love - I will take this into consideration. I will consider do I really need to be "right" in this situation or is it more important to have a conversation. My Godmother often says, "It's not the fact that you're right that bothers them, it's your delivery. At times you can make people feel so small or dumb for thinking the way that they do." The delivery part is a work in progress for me; and it has been a work in progress for years. I have made some progress, gracefully.
