I have dozens of faults. If I spent my time trying to change them all I would have very little time to spend on my actual life.

...and my actual life takes up a lot of time...

As adults, I think its pretty mature to accept ourselves the way we are, and move on without wasting time agonizing over our many imperfections.

Faulty or not, I still have stuff I need to do.

Working towards a positive outcome doesn't always mean changing oneself. It can mean recognizing potential situations and avoiding them. For example, if you get really cranky when you haven't eaten in a while, you can always make sure to have some food with you (food bar, energy bars) or realize that skipping meals is a bad idea, etc.

That is perfectly true, but an entirely different point to the one the grand parent was making.
