"We all need to humble ourselves from time to time and expose ourselves to new perspectives and ideas, even those of the non-experts, or else our growth potential gets weighed down with the ignorance of ego and habit."

Humility

"Change isn't always comfortable, but it always teaches us something of utmost importance " usually about ourselves " and we become better people for it."

Risk

"We are creatures of habit more than we are creatures of change."

Philosophy
