Let's forget about putting money in & getting that pound of flesh and set our sights a bit higher...that is, let's concentrate on kilograms of neurons packaged in open-minded skulls. It is time we started to recognize the attributes delivered in the form of thick skin and thin skulls.

The Thinking Behind The Tweet
Mistakes bang into and bounce off thick skulls.
This annoys Mistakes because their role is teaching lessons.
The problem is: When thick skulls won't let them in Mistakes cannot teach lessons to thick-skulled brains.
So Mistakes keep coming back, knocking on thick skulls over and over and over again.
While Mistakes are born to be great teachers, over time they tend to develop an uppity attitude and a nasty sense of humour. Even when they've given up on teaching well-concealed brains Mistakes have no desire to stop knocking on the thick skulls that house those brains.
The key foresight point is: We can count on Mistakes to come back over and over again to knock on our skulls if we keep them thick.
The bottom line is: As long as our skulls remain thick we will never have the opportunity to learn the lessons taught by Mistakes.

Create a Do It Yourself Hormesis Program, aimed at thickening your skin and building your tolerance for other people's shortcomings.
CAUTION: If you are like most people then your initial tolerance for criticism will be unbelievably low...so start with very low doses of self-criticism. And, build the doses up slowly over time...until you are able to face your screaming vein-bulging face in the mirror.
