The First Question

The first question we must ask
 ourselves in addressing this
 typical teenage problem is:


Would I rather be right or
Would I rather be effective?



Unfortunately, there are times when we adults cannot have it both ways. This may or may not be one of those times. So here are two ways to go.

I. Decide to be right and hope you can also be effective.

II. Practice being effective and let others worry about whether you are being right.
