You’re Beautiful for Owning That Mistake

One of the best ways to promote the pursuit of truth is to not be melodramatic when people make mistakes and sincerely own them.

“We all make mistakes” > “Ha, I told you so”

“What matters is that you understand where you went wrong and how to fix it” > “You just got owned”

Praise people for being honest instead of bashing them for having flaws and imperfections that they need to be honest about.

Discovering our errors is a beautiful thing. How beautiful would it be if we didn’t make people feel ugly about that?
