That’s right – let someone have it their way.
Even if you know that you are correct it will do you good to just do it their way.
Choose wisely, if it’s something really important then obviously you need to
make a judgement call. When we desist and let someone have it their way
we open ourselves to actually seeing it their way rather than arguing against it.
If done with authenticity you can’t help but try to make it work their way too.
You never know, you might end up changing your mind about something.

I like this. This opens up a world of possibilities and keeps the ol’ ego in check at the same time. …maybe we would all learn a thing or two from someone else having it their way. Maybe their way is another great way to have it.
Hi Stu and ctkwingchun..
i’m considering your thoughts..but what if- you know and observe, that things are just terribly wrong? and “they” insist on it..but you see it’s just not the best way to get good results? and yes of course, it’s like you cannot do anything about it. or you can- but you’ll have to take some consequences. which action would you take?
