Do you want to be happy or right?
Many times I wonder about this very question, do you want to be happy or right? What do I mean? Simply put do you give into situations wherein it is easier to just give up and not argue, allow the other person to be "right" just to keep the peace between you all?
One of my first girlfriend's mother used to tell her that it was good for her to just agree from time to time because it was better to keep the harmony instead of fighting over something so trivial.
My father or mother never passed something like that onto me always pushing me to advance and be competitive, but I did learn it somehow. I just didn't want to make waves if it was to my advantage. So from time to time, I just let the other person win.
I'd rather be happy.
