Some people cannot take criticism. They are unable to accept the possibility of being wrong. They have to always prove that they are correct in their statements, judgments or behaviors. What about you? The willingness to acknowledge the fact that you are not perfect (and you aren't, just like anybody else!) gives you the opportunity to improve your way of thinking, speaking and behaving. When you are open to honest criticism, you admit that others have opinions which, although different from yours, deserve to be taken into consideration. If someone tells you that you are a bit too self-righteous, for example, instead of immediately turning into defensive or aggressive mode, try to really listen to what they're saying and examine yourself carefully. They might actually be right.
