“I went back and corrected something I got wrong earlier.”
Going back to correct a mistake you could have let slide is one of the most honest things a person can do. No one made you. There was no external pressure. You went back because you knew it wasn't right. That is conscience in action — and it's rarer than it should be.
Your Practice
Take 10 minutes today to think back on the past month. Is there anything else — a conversation, a piece of work, an agreement — where you know the right version and the actual version are different? If yes, pick one and correct it this week.
The Architects
“For having lived long, I have experienced many instances of being obliged by better information or fuller consideration, to change opinions even on important subjects, which I once thought right, but found to be otherwise.”
— Benjamin Franklin, Speech in the Federal Convention, September 17, 1787
