Celestine over at Lifehack.org has an excellent article about improving yourself. As I was reading the article there was one section that really jumped out at me.
“The more I grow, the more I realize there is so much out there I don’t know, so much that I have to learn. For sure, there is always something about ourselves we can improve on. The human potential is limitless, so it’s impossible to reach a point of no growth. Whenever we think we are good, we can be even better.”
