the only tip I can give you, is to be responsible for all you actions, and not rely or use as an excuse, anyone but your self. This is a huge sign of maturity, and unfortunately some people never do this, and to prove my point listen to people that are in a spot of trouble, if they listen to what is being said, and take a few moments to think about it, then say yes you are right I screwed up, but generally the person hasn't even finished speaking before the other person interrupts with a "but I" and a great long explanation as to how it is not their fault. So if the first thing out of you mouth is an excuse rather than a pause to reflect you haven't got it.

sometimes you can find yourself in a situation where you dont agree with what that person is saying and you just block them out and stop listening. you have to listen because they might be telling you how to improve or you should listen to point out the flaws in there plan and not just respond by saying "you're stupid" thats is immature. but pointing out whats wrong with there statement shows you have insight and maturity.

I have to agree with you because you are not giving excuses, you are pointing out information that was not known, or possibly missed, but I still think you need to pause and think for a few seconds to what a person is saying before giving am answer. at least it works for me
