We live in a culture that often glorifies being right. From childhood, we’re taught to avoid mistakes and pursue perfection. But the truth is, being wrong is not only inevitable—it’s necessary for growth. The path to wisdom is paved with missteps, wrong calls, and moments of doubt.
Every mistake we make gives us a clearer view of who we are and what we value. Take it from Ankit, who once viewed every failure as a setback. Over time, he realised that being wrong helped him unlearn what wasn’t working and embrace what truly mattered. From relationships to career decisions, those “wrong turns” led to right destinations.
Society often equates being wrong with being weak, but real strength lies in the ability to admit when you’re off track. It takes courage to say, “I made a mistake,” and even more strength to learn from it. Each error is a mirror showing us our blind spots and areas for improvement.
Being wrong also opens the door to empathy. Once you’ve failed, it’s easier to be kind to others who are struggling. It humbles us and connects us, reminding us that no one has it all figured out. The world needs more people who can admit they’re learning, not pretending to be perfect.
So the next time life proves you wrong, don’t panic—celebrate it. You’re evolving. And that, in itself, is a beautiful success.
