  3. You can be honest about what you've yet to learn, and appreciate what you already know.


  4. You can actively seek out teachers and role models without worrying about what others will think.


  5. You can stop defending or making excuses for your "bad" habits, while occasionally or always working to transform your behavior into "good" habits.
