“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.

“It is not Histories that I am writing, but Lives... a slight thing like a phrase or a jest often makes a greater revelation of character than battles where thousands fall.”
Plutarch, Life of Alexander 1.2, Bernadotte Perrin translation (Loeb Classical Library, 1919)
