“Humility leads to strength and not to weakness. It is the highest form of self-respect to admit mistakes and to make amends for them.”
– John J. McCloy
Please take a moment and ponder on each of the words above… think about them... understand them... act upon them... then move forward... do not look back... make a conscious decision... do not be afraid to act... make mistakes... but be willing to admit to them... because Humility is real Courage. Arrogance is Cowardice... Don’t be a Coward... There is no place on the planet for it.
Sincerely,
Joseph Bismark
