Mentally accept that bugs with your code are your fault. You'll end up fixing them faster.

Excellent advice. I'd go one step further: accept the problems in your life are your fault (responsibility). You'll end up fixing them faster.

The opposite of that is the root of a lot of trouble in this world.

If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month. - Theodore Roosevelt

Better yet: start calling "bugs" defects.

Also, accept that humans are imperfect and no code (whether yours or another's) will be defect-free. Fixing is more important than blaming.
