Throughout our lives, we are often challenged to improve to the level of performance required to succeed. Below are some of my weekly readings relative to self-improvement I know you will enjoy. Have a great week!  

10 Mistakes Smart People Never Make Twice

Everybody makes mistakes — that’s a given — but not everyone learns from them. Some people make the same mistakes over and over again, fail to make any real progress, and can’t figure out why. “Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.” – Bruce Lee When we make mistakes, it can be hard to admit them because doing so feels like an attack on our self-worth.
