What is the cost of my rigidity?
The cost of advice that I ignored because I thought I knew more.
The cost of not paying enough attention to listening while I was preparing my response.
The cost of pretending to be busy and not giving my full attention.
The cost of thinking—it is not my problem, and hence I am not taking any responsibility.
The cost of winning an argument.
The cost of rejecting good advice out of insecurity and jealousy.
The cost of my rigidity appears to be quite high, indeed!
