Tip for grads: Don't be afraid to step up and admit error, in both your personal and professional life, even when you know you're not wrong and, even more to the point, when others know it, too. This ennobles you, makes you look like a bigger person and may help someone else save some face. And the face you save today may look kindly on you in the future when you really need it, like when you really DO screw up.
