When you’re mistaken

Discovering you’ve been mistaken is not pleasant. But it’s a whole lot better than remaining oblivious to the mistake.

Only when you know something is wrong, can you correct it. As soon as you admit your mistake, you begin to transcend it.

No one is perfect. And in the imperfections you can find great opportunity.

Imagine that you’re doing a hundred things right and just a couple of things wrong. By adjusting those two mistaken behaviors, you greatly improve the effectiveness of all the others.

It’s nice to receive praise when you do things right. But it’s even better to get honest criticism if you’re doing something wrong.

Be eager to identify your mistakes and to learn from them. It’s an excellent means to enhance everything you do.
