Mussar: Rebuke - Embrace, Resist, or Ignore

Sefer Mitzvot Katan, mitzvah 9:

The Bible verse:
AND YOU WILL CIRCUMCISE YOUR HEARTS
(Devarim / Deuteronomy, chapter 10, verse 16)
means
loving [receiving] rebuke and loving people who rebuke you.

Like King Solomon, may peace be upon him, said in his book:
...REBUKE A WISE MAN AND HE WILL LOVE YOU
(Mishlei / Proverbs, chapter 9, verse 8).
