  A comment on Conversation: Have you believed something - or the idea of something - and discovered you were mistaken, or wrong? What's your story & what did you learn?

  Aug 18 2011: Once I believed that if a hammer didn't work, I should use a bigger hammer. Now, rather than having to be right, I prefer to be happy..eg yesterday, playing golf, our opponents twice failed to observe a rule of the game and I, initially upset, objected. At the end of the round, rather than complain again, I apologised for having been a grumpy old man. Result, a congenial post match drink.
