“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.
