listen
"People who are right a lot listen a lot, and they change their mind a lot," Bezos once said in an interview. "They wake up and re-analyze things and change their mind. If you don't change your mind frequently, you're going to be wrong a lot. People who are right a lot want to disconfirm their fundamental biases."
That's why it's so important to be open to criticism. But what if criticism attacks your core beliefs, the very essence of who you are?
By urging readers to "not let anybody tell you who you are," Bezos encourages a balanced view of criticism. Yes, listen and be open to change. But don't be tempted to give in to haters, to become something you're not, or to change your core beliefs simply to please others.
