Embrace.............................

     To acquire principles that work, it's essential that you embrace reality and deal with it well.   Don't fall into the common trap of wishing that reality worked differently than it does or that your own realities were different.  Instead, embrace your realities and deal with them effectively.  After all, making the most of your circumstances is what life is all about.  This includes being transparent with your thoughts and open-mindedly accepting the feedback of others.  Doing so will dramatically increase your learning.
