How often are you wrong?

Recently I was asked the question, "How often would you say you are wrong?" The question kind of caught me off guard and when I thought a little bit about how often I think I'm wrong I answered with, "Probably about 30% of the time." As the day went on, I continued thinking about my answer of 30% and began thinking that I'm probably wrong much more often than that. How often do you think that you're wrong? I then began trying to think of times that I was clearly wrong and it was more difficult that I thought it would be. Because of our arrogance and our unwillingness to admit that we were wrong, I think that people don't even consider the fact that they may be wrong.

Thinking back to last semester I can recall in instance where me being wrong not only hindered myself but three of my classmates. One day I received a group text message from the members of a group project that I was a part of. The message simply asked when the next part of the project was due. None of them knew the exact date and evidently neither did I, but i thought I was right when I told them the date. We showed up to class the day before the date that I thought and that is when we found out that that I was wrong about the date. Needless to say I felt extremely bad and i was afraid that I ruined everyone's chance to get a good grade on the project. 

After class, I approached the professor and told him the situation and asked him to not count us having it in late against the others for it was my fault that it was late. He thanked me for coming to him to talk about it and said that he wouldn't dock the others but dock me 5 points of the total if we could get the assignment in by the next class period..He seemed to be very forgiving about the situation but I still felt extremely bad for letting the group down. After he told me that he wouldn't dock the others i felt a little better but I still hated knowing I was wrong. When I informed the rest of the group of the news they were all extremely relieved and thanked me for talking to the professor.

Admitting to being wrong is never a fun task but it is one that can fix situations. I was glad that I talked to the professor and admitted my wrong doing and that it did not affect my class mates. Can you think of a time in the recent days where you were wrong?
