“You can be right or you can be rich, but you can't be both.”
— T. Harv Eker

Simplified Meaning:
Being right means standing firm on your opinions and proving you know best. Being rich involves making money through compromises and sometimes letting others believe they are right. Imagine a person who always argues to prove their point in a business meeting. They may win the argument, but they could lose a potential client because the client feels offended or not valued. On the other hand, a businessperson who listens and makes the client feel smart may close the deal, earning more money. In life, choosing to be flexible and diplomatic, rather than insisting on being correct all the time, can lead to better relationships and more opportunities for success.
