People say the only thing you get for being right is being right. It can certainly feel that way. I think often we prioritize getting things right because we value truth and being practical, yet we end up hating the fact we're right, because it's such a nuisance - our hard work is not only unappreciated but makes people upset, they don't see it, etc. But being right isn't the only thing that comes with being right. You may also get:

• Practice
• (ie, figuring stuff out, verifying, communicating, persuading)
• All the potentials of knowing how this works
• (including surprise links to similar patterns)
• Respect, recognition, thanks, jobs
• (if people aren't too resentful, and see some value for themselves)
• Responsibility
• (knowing the truth can be a kind of burden, but a good one)

By the time someone can say to you "I hate that you're right," they're over the hump. But part of the responsibility - yours - is finding ways to get them over said hump without hating you for it. Still, it's a two-way street. People have just as much responsibility not to hate anyone for being right, or even just for being honest and trying. Hating someone because they think something is not great. But sometimes it's your role to be the ambassador and help them not hate you for thinking something.

The next time you're starting to hate being right, remember the above.
