You must be open minded and willing to accept that you can be wrong.
Criticism and advice from friends and failure to achieve something will point out where you're wrong, where you can improve the situation - if you are willing to take it in.
It is bloody essential, there's no substitute.

I'm fully aware that I may be wrong though
