22. Well, that was wrong

I also have a history of discovering that I didn’t understand something as well as I thought I did.

That’s how a fair amount of my learning has happened.

I want to be able to explain why I believe something, listen when someone challenges it, and look honestly at evidence that makes it uncomfortable to keep believing it.

If I’ve misunderstood something, I’d rather find out. Preferably before giving another presentation about it.

Experience gives me more to draw on. It should also give me enough perspective to remember how many things I’ve had to learn along the way.

I’d like these beliefs to survive scrutiny. They’re allowed to get better, too.
