Successful people ask for the criticism of others and consider its merit.

I do think people need to recognize that a lot of journalists want to write a story a certain way because the story will be better or the portrayal will be better, or at least recognize that whenever you're looking at something, you're seeing it through somebody's eyes who may actually not be the person who is the most insightful.

To be successful, we need everyone to think independently and work through disagreement to decide what's best.
