He remembered what he saw in the mirror and kept working to improve. Yes, keep a positive view of yourself and a balanced view of your imperfections. ( Read Ecclesiastes 7: 20.)
وَعَلَيْكَ أَنْتَ أَيْضًا أَنْ تُحَافِظَ عَلَى نَظْرَةٍ إِيجَابِيَّةٍ إِلَى نَفْسِكَ وَنَظْرَةٍ مُتَّزِنَةٍ إِلَى نَقَائِصِكَ .‏ ‏
