IF - and this is the greatest of them all - I had the courage to see myself as I reallyam, I would find out what is wrong with me, and correct it, then I might have a chance to profit by my mistakes and learn something from the experience of others,for I know that there is something WRONG with me, or I would now be where I WOULD HAVE BEEN IF I had spent more time analyzing my weaknesses, and less time building alibis to cover them. ↗

[W]hen you make your mistakes in public you will learn that they are mistakes and in being corrected you will grow.

Working from your strengths and cultivating resilience in all matters of life have always been guiding principles for me. ↗
