Studies show that the AVERAGE person tends to think he is better than the AVERAGE person. Nine in ten managers think they are better than the average manager. Nine in ten teachers think they are better than the average teacher. I'm sure its true with preachers and others, too. And nine in ten drivers think they are better than the average driver. And even nine in ten drivers who have been HOSPITALIZED after being in accidents still think they are better than the average driver!
Two men go to church to pray. The first is devout. The second knows he has messed up. The first, part of the 90%, says, "I'm above AVERAGE. Thank God I'm not like those other people." The second, a member of the 10% minority, says, "Lord, be merciful to me." Guess which one God appreciates most?
When my kids do or say something to me they know is wrong, they apologize by saying, "my bad." Seems it might always be better to say that, instead of "my good." On average, that is.
