Nick Perry argues that ego kills success more than anything else. He says people who won't accept correction stay stuck, while those who focus on results over pride move forward. The difference is whether you care more about being right or getting better.

The easiest way to tell if a motherfucker is stupid is if they can't be corrected. They'd rather be headed in the wrong direction than get corrected. They take your instructions as disrespect when all you were doing was trying to help them. Funny thing is that it'll be those same people who will see you capitalize on an opportunity and ask why you didn't tell them about it. If you're that guy, I suggest you change your way.
