My Weekly Reminder
I’ve come across several people recently who simply can’t admit it when they’ve made a mistake. Instead of admitting their mistake and taking responsibility for it, they blame others. As far a they’re concerned, admitting a mistake is a sign of personal weakness. In reality, being able to admit your mistakes is a sign of strong personal character—people respect and are attracted to those who are able to own up to their mistakes and learn from them. We have to remember that mistakes are our teachers—we only learn when we make them. Not being able to admit a mistake is to deny ourselves an opportunity to learn and grow. It also means that you’re going to repeat the same mistake again. As Winston Churchill once said, “Everyone makes mistakes, but only wise people learn from them.” In other words, being able to admit your mistakes is a hallmark of success.

For those of you who have bought Revved! and read it, if you liked it and feel so inclined, I would really appreciate it if you would go to Amazon.com and post a glowing review and give it a five star rating. This is extremely important when it comes to selling books. Thank you so much. Ross
