Pride

Have you ever been so sure you were right that you weren't open to hearing the other side? Pride...an ugly thing.

Have you ever been in that situation and then been proven wrong? Pretty humbling isn't it? I have been here more times than I care to admit. It takes true humility to listen, to really listen to someone when you believe your position is the right one.

Check out this video. Not only will you get a chuckle out of it, but hopefully it will shed some light on how you listen to others, even when you "know" you are right.

My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.
James 1:19

Funny - I've heard this same story used as a verbal joke by several keynote speakers at conferences over the years.. but it is fun to see in full-production video!

It certainly helps to keep perspective on things...
