Brain Food: Humility, Math, and Courage

Focusing on past accomplishments creates obstacles to success in the present. If you're still talking about something great you did 20 years ago like it was yesterday, your ego is getting in the way.

What you did in the past makes a good story. What you're doing now makes a difference.

Humility is a competitive advantage. The most powerful truths are those that our hyper-stimulated egoic societies have discarded. The most effective people are those that can develop a profound relationship with what others deem boring.
