We quite often focus on the things we do right, or our accomplishments. These are great to learn from, but we can learn as much if not more from our mistakes and failures.

The bigger man and the one that become true leaders, leading by example, is the one that owsn up to his mistakes, admits his weaknesses, and works to overcome them.
