"I feel like I’m really good at being honest with myself and looking at reality as it is and not as I want it to be or not as I’m trying to pretend it is. I’m not perfect with that, and I don’t do it immediately, but I have this feedback loop in my head where I’m always comparing actual to expected or desired. I’m always comparing. So the more wrong I am, the closer I get to being right, and sometimes it takes me a long time but the feedback loop is always going. I’m always, always, always, always comparing actual to expected or desired. And I’m never, ever willing to fool myself about my expected or desired being actual. I’m always willing to look at the two together, they are separate, and compare them objectively. And because of that, I’m always willing to work on the things I’m not good at, or I’m always willing to improve the things I am good at that need to be improved or I’m always willing to kind of take a step back and listen to new ideas or change things or change my opinion."
