This nicely articulates a couple truisms I've felt strongly about:

• Disagreements should be about collectively getting to the truth, not winning. "Any time you're in a fervent disagreement with someone, remind yourself to focus on what's right rather than who's right."
• "Many of us hold onto beliefs, even about our own lives, that aren't accurate. We tell ourselves "I'm good at ___, but I have never been good at _____," or "I could pull _____ off, but I could never pull ____ off." These unexamined mantras often turn into self-fulfilling prophecies, because we subconsciously seek to validate our position. Yes, we want to be proven "right," even if what we're right about keeps us from growth and change."
• If you think you're always right, you lose becuase you fail to learn from others: "Resist the urge to write people off as uninformed or just plain wrong, and instead ask yourself, "What can I learn from this person?" We don't have to agree with someone to learn from them."
