People often forget that 'being wrong' feels exactly like 'being right.' What is humbling and embarrassing is learning that you were wrong before. When you are making a mistake, it usually doesn't feel like a mistake.

So it really is safe to assume that everything you do is wrong. It is nearly impossible to tell the difference between right and wrong when you take action. And wrong is so much more likely than right.
