To hear, accept, and implement feedback

Don't be deaf to the world around you.

This is hard.  We're all very sensitive by nature to input and feedback but we have to let our guard down and figure out how to act right according to the world.  We have to be willing to accept and listen to feedback but we shouldn't also be total chameleons.  We have to realize what is real and adjust accordingly.  We also have to be willing to say no or to tell people to shut up.  It's a hard process.
