Humility
Your best project is the one yet to come. I like the humility and the subtle message behind this statement that says: ‘’you’re never arrived, you’re always making progress’’. I deeply agree with this. And as a healthy habit, I try to monitor and understand my moments of overconfidence. It’s great to feel confident but wanting this feeling to remain is dangerous. Putting these moments into perspective allows me to challenge my ideas more often and to push beyond the field of my knowledge. Accepting our ignorance is never an easy thing, but as soon as you accept the discomfort, you realize how exciting the rest of your life can be!
