I have been hypnotized by someone else’s arrogant aires.
I have naively interpreted someone’s cockiness as confidence.
I have followed the lead of a pompous individuals.
And I have learned that ego creates problems where there weren’t, and it is nothing more than an act.
The real people to admire are the ones who admit they don’t know.
They are the ones who work hard to gain footing, and never stop trying to learn.
They are involved, they are supportive, and they are reliable.
They are the people who respect others ideas and their opinions.
They believe in their work and care more about doing good work than bravado.
They understand that there is power in numbers and a good team is always better than an individual.
They want to help you, they don’t want to hurt you.
These are the people I want to be around, these are the examples I want to follow.
Together we can lead each other with humility, cooperation and grace.
“Surround yourself with the dreamers and the doers, the believers and thinkers, but most of all, surround yourself with those who see the greatness within you, even when you don’t see it yourself.” ~ Edmond Lee
