Question

"A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct them."

What does this quote mean and why does it matter?

Answer 1

In other words a you must be able to accept consequences. It matters because if you don't accept consequences then life'll be harder than it seems.

Answer 2

Think about it this way a rich man working for a company and a drug dealer. Yes they are both living a good life in terms of money, yet which one will do the right thing when it comes down to taking the fault the drug dealer or the rich man. I'd say the drug dealer because he can always make a come back but for as the rich man working for a company not so easy because that will be on his record but mostly because it will be on his conscience leaving him to worry all the time.
