One love truth more than anything else which means…
One love truth more than anything else which means love fact and make sure that the information that you have is correct and accurate. This also means that if you get information that makes your prior truth and untruth welcome it because you now ultimately have the truth. It also means learning from others and accepting from others. As Sir Isaac mutant said if I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

In the book
Reading widely lets you borrow the hard-won experience of others rather than paying full price for your own — for only the fool insists on learning solely from his own mistakes; and a simple, powerful habit before any big transition is to ask people who have already been through it what they wish they had known beforehand. Fourth, and this is a hard one, love truth more than you love being right — which means being willing to admit you are wrong, and welcoming new information even when it overturns a belief you held dear, because now you finally have the truth. To question your own beliefs and actions is often the very best way to learn, and acquiring real knowledge is not passive: it takes deliberate, sustained effort. […] Adopt the growth mindset on purpose. When you hear yourself say "I can't," add the word yet; treat effort as the road to mastery rather than proof you lack talent; read your failures as information about where to push, not verdicts on your worth; and actively seek out the negative feedback most people flee. Be a lifelong learner. Set aside time every single day for it, and never stop, because the day you stop is the day you die mentally; be your own great teacher; learn from the giants who came before you, and love the truth enough to admit when you are wrong. Leave the comfort zone deliberately. Don't log the same easy flight forever; find exactly where your ability breaks down and train precisely there, with clear goals and honest measurement, aiming not just to reach your potential but to build it, and growing by small increments rather than waiting for one heroic leap. — Expanding Your Range (Growth/Change/Education/Learning/Habit)
