The Glory of an Oops

There's no shame in saying, "I was wrong before, but I know better now."

You can change your position, your platform, your goals, your identity, your affiliations, and even your founding beliefs about the very nature of your own life. Growing from your mistakes is a perfect place for pride.

Shame belongs to the stubborn people who refuse to change their minds even in the face of overwhelming evidence to support that they are wrong. Stubbornness doesn't make you look strong, and it certainly doesn't make you right. It just makes you look foolish.
