Being right

Out of curiousity (okay, maybe it was more like listless conference call syndrome) I Googled this phrase today and it came back with all kinds of random results, ranging from self-help advice, politics and some dude's disturbing Flickr account of the same name.  I was thinking about how the hubby and I had a short exchange about this concept last night (don't worry, it really was brief as it was after 10:00pm and it was very important to me to be able watch The Office episode about Jim & Pam having a baby!), and one of the questions he asked me was "why is it so important for you to always prove your point?".  Well, now, I felt that was a bit like asking a songbird why they always felt the need to sing! :). 
 
But seriously, I've always found it interesting to reflect on different personalities and how they often seem to lead us down the road of familiar tendencies and repeated actions.  While I don't necessarily subscribe to the idea that we are somehow concretely set in our ways due to predetermined personality types, it can certainly be an insightful exercise to figure out our makeup.  Don't you sometimes find yourself thinking that the way you acted or spoke was so unlike your normal ways or that you just can't figure out where it came from?  Interesting indeed. 
 
P.S.  Yes, honey, it was in an email, but maybe you did also tell me and I just don't remember.  Maybe... :) xoxo
