To be humble is to be teachable. Meek, not weak. The most humble people are the most aggressive leaders. Aggressive because to be truly taught, is to sincerely do. To lead. To start. To achieve. Willingly and urgently doing the work to make change.

About This Quote

To be humble is to be teachable. Meek, not weak. The most humble people are the most aggressive leaders. Aggressive because to be truly taught, is to sincerely do.

To lead. To start. To achieve.

Willingly and urgently doing the work to make change. The lesson: It’s easy to be a leader when you’re doing things and the world is falling apart (or starting to). But what about when you’re not doing anything? When your world isn’t falling apart, but you feel like it is? When you’re just sitting around waiting for something big to happen? It’s much harder to take action in such a situation than when you feel like you can go out and make a difference.

That’s why the most humble people are also the most aggressive leaders: They know that when they don’t have anything to do, they must do something in order to feel useful and worth something in this world.
