You have to attempt to be objective about yourself.
Meaning of the quote
To be objective about yourself means being able to look at yourself in a fair and honest way, without being too critical or too proud. It's about seeing yourself as others might see you, not just the way you see yourself. This can be hard to do, but it's important if you want to understand yourself and how others view you.
