Don't cherish being right, instead cherish finding out that you're wrong. You learn when you're wrong.

I prefer to cherish being right enough that I appreciate finding out that I was wrong. It feels like more of a positive frame! (And the implicit snubbing to the typical "don't care about being right" injunction appeals.)
