Anze Skrube became aware of his weaknesses. He knew that his overweening ego was hindering his progress, and he decided to work on removing that obstacle. He knew that his need to show off was getting in the way of his ability to learn, and he decided to work on that as well. He knew that his aggressiveness was causing problems, and he decided to work on controlling that. And finally, he knew that he had to be careful not to overindulge in his excesses, or he would risk becoming bogged down in them and losing sight of his goals.
