was there ever a time that you say something and someone corrected you and inform you that what you've said is not right (say about science or some info). are you open-minded take suggestions lightly or do you get angry when someone corrected you?

I really don't get mad because most people are just trying to provide you with the correct information. For example, some people think communism is good and I lived in a communist country and I can tell you that from experience most people are in misery.

The truth is it all depends on who says it, how it is spoken and where it is spoken. If this is done in a public place where everyone hears what is going on and I am embarrassed, I would think that it is being malicious but then if the person is looking out for me then I can take it. I like being told the truth anyway but it all depends on how it is done.

of course it is ture. i don't think it is not right. in fact i offen do that when i am a student . but now most time we argue about it and both us didn't agree with each other. and we shout loudly and at last one will think he is right although he was thinking it may be wrong.

I take corrections differently. It's not that hard to admit you might be wrong but there are some know-it-alls who not merely correct you but have to rub it in your face that you've been wrong. At these instances, I get really pissed and demeaned. I'm aware that i might not always be right but people should say it in a nice way so i wouldn't feel as stupid.
