Do you feel the need to prove someone wrong?

1 Answer

Answer :

Sometimes. Not if it’s after a well thought discussion or evaluation. But I do when it’s arbitrary and hasn’t been considered properly. I had projects at work where some people have dismissed an idea out of hand. I keep plugging it away or keep it in a drawer until there’s been a staff change.
