  1. That would imply that humility = sucking. I’d rephrase “humble enough to admit when you suck” (so that you can objectively see where you’re going wrong)

    1. Interesting. I thought the phrasing implied there is a certain depth of humility that allows you to suck, like Tiger Woods who purposefully ignored his strengths so he could work on his weaknessesโ€”even though it temporarily detracted from his overall performanceโ€”so he could break through old limits that he wouldn’t have otherwise been able to.

    1. I believe they go hand in hand. Being humble (which, in my opinion is setting ego aside so you can see things as honestly as possible) will indicate when taking a risk is the most sensible option.

    1. That’s never a bad thing…and then when folks can say I tried my best, here’s why I say that, here’s what I learned, and here’s what I’ll do different next time, THAT’S when I start looking at them as someone who’s serious about giving it their all, regardless of victory or defeat. ๐Ÿ˜Š
