Hate being right

There were times when Jaina Proudmoore really hated being right.
     Being wrong was never something that bothered her, and she mostly blamed Antonidas for that. Her mentor had drummed into her from the moment her apprenticeship started that the worst sin a mage could commit was arrogance, and also the easiest. "With so much power at your command -- literally at your fingertips -- it is easy to be tempted to think that you are all-powerful," the older wizard had said. "Indeed it is so easy that most wizards succumb to the notion. It is one of the reasons why we are often so tiresome." That last had been said with a small smile.

     "You're not like that though, are you?" Jaina had asked.
     "All too regularly," had been the mage's reply. "The trick is to recognize the flaw in yourself and work to correct it."
     [...]
     Jaina had taken those words to heart, and so always doubted her own surety.


Em VÁRIAS ocasiões, eu também odeio estar certo....
