Everybody makes mistakes, but the effective person is willing to change when he sees that he’s made a mistake and fix the problem.

It’s usually our first reaction to become defensive when somebody points out a shortfall or error in our ways, yet if we shift our life focus from appearing perfect to the people around us and instead focus on being better in every aspect of life and work, it’s easier to crush the pride that causes us to get defensive when an error is discovered.

We all make mistakes, but only some of us fix them.
