36  "The Ego, however, is not who you really are. The ego is your self-image; it is your social mask; it is the role you are playing. Your social mask thrives on approval. It wants control, and it is sustained by power, because it lives in fear."

73  One might understand that it might not be enough to own up to one's own mistakes as in:    
74  "A mistake is valuable if you do four things with it: recognize it, admit it, learn from it, forget it."   
75  Those who struggle to apologize might appreciate the following explaination:   
76  "Apologizing does not always mean that you're wrong and the other person is right. It just means that you value your relationship more than your ego."
