    The ability to admit being wrong is one of the most important virtues, and it is extremely difficult. It should be emphasized in families and schools alongside standard virtues like honesty, sharing, and kindness, starting as young as possible.

        And people should take pride in doing it, just like they take pride in getting something right—which is just the other side of the coin of truth. Progress is as much about letting go of old falsehoods as it is about discovering new truths.

        Vulnerability is necessary for building trust, and yes, it's really hard.

        It's something I try to do consistently when indicated.

        You see we say that, but it’s human nature to view this as inconsistency. No one wants an inconsistent lawyer or doctor.

        The equivalent in politics is “flip-flopping.” And yet that’s exactly what I want—a doctor who isn’t reluctant to change a (mis)diagnosis in light of new facts.

        I personally do not find it difficult to admit when I'm wrong. It shows me that I learned something.

        Like most things we learn more from modelling than from preaching. Be a good model to your children or students

        Schools may actually teach the opposit with the current emphasis on tests and grades. Being wrong always has negative consequences that may be detrimental to learning. Then again schools are often more tools for sorting society than true institutions of learning
