Last Word

It's so tempting to offer the last word in a discussion.  We want to be right.  We want to be smart.  We want to be in control. 

Often, just as in church, the last word, should be amen.  When the conversation has yielded a result that all can comfortably accept, we should shake hands and happily walk away with a resolution to our project or issue. 

Sometimes being right, smart and in control is knowing when to say amen.
