“To grow, we must first accept our imperfections”
— Alain de Botton

Simplified Meaning:
Everyone makes mistakes or has flaws—nobody is perfect. To improve and become better, you need to recognize and accept that you have these imperfections. It's like when you want to get better at drawing. First, you look at your work and honestly see where it can be better. Maybe your lines are shaky or your proportions are off, but noticing these things is the first step. When you know what to work on, you can practice and get better at drawing. Ignoring or being ashamed of these flaws won't help you improve. In life, understanding our weaknesses allows us to work on them and grow. This makes us stronger and wiser.
