Too Deep? Here's Mr. Rogers playing Donkey Kong. That makes me happy, and I'm right to share it.

A blast from the past, this 1983 clip from the PBS show Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood has Mr. Rogers taking a look at a Donkey Kong machine, and even popping open the control panel for a peek!

Sadly, I'm most happy when I'm right.

I'm an engineer.

If I'm not right, people may very well die of my wrongness.

So, being right is what makes me happy, but the being right is more important than, say, getting enough sleep or spending my evening hours checking a calculation yet AGAIN rather than seeing a movie for myself.

But that's the job, and it is one I love.

I'd rather be happy.

Tough question I’m a pretty happy person, and while I like to be right and don’t certainly need to be right all the time, though I like it when I am, and frustrated when I’m not. But in the grand scheme I can’t get on board with the whole ignorance is bliss thing, so right it is.

I'm of a similar mind - I feel that I'd rather know than be blissfully ignorant.

who wants to wander around feeling happy thinking they're right, while others are just shaking their heads thinking 'what a maroon!' because you're totally wrong?

I was going to immediately choose "Right" but then I stopped to think about it for a minute. I've spent much of my life striving to be always be right, but it hasn't made me terribly happy.

So I've decided that it might be a nice change to just be happy for a while.

Is that the right answer???

does it make you happy?

I love Mr. Rogers!

Mr. Rogers was an absolute gem. He is one of the few people I consider a true hero. A quiet hero with no agenda except showing children what normalcy looks like. Anyone who dedicates their life to the betterment of children's lives gets a row of gold stars in my book.

Being right sucks if it alienates everyone. However, not speaking up when you know the correct answer is akin to treachery because it can cause people harm. Heh, I turned that into a heavier statement than I intended.
