Maturity is choosing what works over what merely proves a point.

RESILIENCE
There is an option that resolves the situation and an option that establishes you were right, and they are rarely the same. Proving the point costs another conversation, some goodwill, and often the outcome itself. Choosing what works means letting an inaccuracy stand, or accepting a solution that gives the other person more credit than they earned, in exchange for the thing actually getting done.
When you notice you are about to make a point, ask what you want more: this settled, or this acknowledged. Both are legitimate wants. Just choose deliberately, because the point-making usually happens by reflex and the cost lands later.
