"He who won't be counseled can't be helped."
-Benjamin Franklin
I'd say that it means that you have to be willing to take criticism and advice in order to improve yourself/something. I personally agree. You can't let your ego/pride get in the way if you want to make something better. It reminds me of the phrase "there needs to be room for improvement."
