It is in stretching ourselves in which we grow. To remain in our comfort zone is to stagnant and to stop growing. Additional opportunities and challenges allow us as individuals to increase our competencies and skills.

We must utilize our strengths while we systematically work on our weaknesses to become a more well rounded asset.

Leading others for the sake of improvement is true leadership beyond a much more mechanical management perspective.

Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them.
Albert Einstein
 

No man ever got very high by pulling other people down. The intelligent merchant does not knock his competitors. The sensible worker does not knock those who work with him. Don't knock your friends. Don't knock your enemies. Don't knock yourself.
Alfred Lord Tennyson

The intelligent man is one who has successfully fulfilled many accomplishments, and is yet willing to learn more.
Ed Parker

The Constitution was written by 55 educated and highly intelligent men in Philadelphia in 1787, but it was written so that it could be understood by people of limited education and modest intelligence. John Jay Hooker
