Even if you tell yourself "today i'm going to drink coffee the wrong way ... from a dirty boot." even that would be right, because you chose to drink coffee from that boot. because you can do nothing wrong. you are always right. even when you say, "i'm such an idiot, i'm so wrong..." you're right. you're right about being wrong. you're right even when you're an idiot. no matter how stupid your idea, you're doomed to be right because it's yours.
