Coachable
If anyone tells you that a certain person speaks ill of you, do not make excuses, but answer: he was ignorant of my other faults, else he would not have mentioned these alone.

The second one costs your ego something and buys you years of progress. The first protects a version of you that isn't getting any stronger.
Today's challenge: Take one cue today without explaining yourself first.
