Your way is the only right way.....

Sometimes our mind will think in one particular way only and accordingly only we will be acting. That time our mind will not accept that there will be other way of thinking or doing certain things. After some time, our own mind realises that what others told or acted is correct and we were wrong. But I do not feel shy to accept my mistake even before a child. After all to err is human.

you know I dont' know what is wrong with me. I have learn't that there seems to be always a better way of doing things then my way; but I still have this thing like my way is the right way attitude. I hate that about me. It is totally weird because I totally know that there is more then one way and those ways are usually way better then mine. Maybe it is because I want to be good at something? Do you think like that?

my oldest son and his father is just alike on that and no matter what you tell them you are always wrong

This is my mother in a nutshell. I love her to pieces but if you don't do things her way then it's not the right way. It has caused some very big arguments between us because I do things very differently than she does. When I try to explain that it's the way I prefer, she gets all upset and yells "But it's not right!" Most of the time I just tell her to shove off and let it be. She has a very hard time doing that... that's putting it mildly!

No, I'm not that kind of person...I know when I'm right, and when I'm wrong. When I wrong, I admit it...that's as simple as that. I have seen other people, some colleagues who have the "I can't be wrong" attitude....thinking that their ideas, ways of doing things, interpretation of events are always right, and everyone else's is wrong. But on my part, I analyze things well before making conclusions. I am not the paranoid type, too who suspects every move, every motive, every behavior and actions of people. I have also learned a lot of lessons of being wrong, and I have readily admitted it...

it is good that you have learnt it long time ago but i've learnt it recently.Anyway it is important that we have accepted the truth that we are not the one who are always right there are many other people who think better than we do.

I think we're all like this in some ways.

I know several people that are like that. I get so tired of listening to it, though. It seems like a lot of people especially feel that way when it comes to raising children. I don't know how many people have told me that something that I am doing with my son is just not right and that it's going to ruin his life. A lot of times it's really stupid stuff, too. Like some parents say that if children sleep with their parents they are always dependent for the rest of their lives, etc. Other parents say that is cruel to not let your child sleep with you. And they both think that anyone that disagrees is completely wrong. It's crazy. There are lots of other examples, but I don't have time to list them all. And it's not just parenting that people feel that way about. I've seen people like that over lots of different things.

I believe they are more than one way of doing things. I heard Joyce Meyer say one time that she did not want to change things in her ministry but God was prompting her to make some changes. If we listen to God, we will see their is more than one way of getting thing accomplished and still get it done right.

I am married to a man who thinks his way is the right way or shall i say that he thinks he is always right. Most of the time he is and when I do catch him on this he just laughs LOL There are not many things he has been wrong on at all.

me,i am always open to any opinions and suggestions..I know that what i am doing is right, but i am still open to any possibilities and others suggestions.

Hi mamacathie, yes I have that thinking too. I sometimes become very persistent that I insisted that my way is the only correct way or my solution is the best. So far, I have always proven myself right. But the setback is someone doesnt like it when I am the center of attraction or people will want to listen to my advice. So now I keep things to myself and listen to others opinion. Occassionally, I will give some comment or tips.

I think I've learned that. I think I quit worrying a long time about how something gets done, just as long as it gets done. There are many ways to do different things and still get the same result. I'm even learning some new ways to do things, that are easier then the way I've always done them.

Well when it comes to my children, and they haven't always made the right choices. I would say my way is the right way. But for other situations I do believe there is more than one way to skin a cat. (Isn't that an old saying or am I making that up?)
