COT

KOA described a situation about sitting at a stop light that just turned green and watching a large vehicle speeding from the other direction, not slowing down, even though their light is red. Do you go? If you go and get hit, you were right, but was it worth it.

Think about places in your life where you think/know you are right, but it may not be the right time or place to let it be known. Maybe being right all the time is not the best strategy. KOA challenged PAX to find ways to be right only when necessary in our work and daily lives, to avoid catastrophic issues with the relationships we are a part of.

Aye.
