The value of being right.
What is being right ?
Does it mean, you know, what you know, and the facts proof you right.
Or is the way to knowledge thru, trial and error, more important, then the subsequent achievements?
Who is a wiser man?
He, who is always right ?
Or he who learned by his mistakes ?
And who is truky a great man ?
The one who is right, and knows it, and doesn't want to hear any alternative.
Or the one that is right, but still listens to others. And might even give in, altho he is right at the end ?
Who is more intelligent ?
The one that always knew ?
Or the one, that made many mistakes, and made the right conclusions at the end ?
People invented many things.
By sheer luck and coincidance.
By having an idea and some luck
And by having a great idea, not giving up.
As soon as luck is involved, we all could have invented many great things.
It's the persistence of some, that distingushes, the great minds, from the crowd.
