Stay humble and hungry for improvement from "summary" of Discipline Equals Freedom by Jocko Willink
The key to success is to never be satisfied with where you are. You must always strive to improve, to get better, to grow. This means staying humble, acknowledging that you have room to grow, recognizing that you are not perfect. But it also means staying hungry, never becoming complacent, always pushing yourself to do more, to be better.
When you are humble, you are open to learning. You are willing to accept feedback, to listen to others, to admit when you are wrong. You understand that there is always more to learn, always room for improvement. Humility keeps you grounded, keeps you focused on the task at hand, keeps you moving forward.
At the same time, hunger drives you. It fuels your ambition, your determination, your desire to succeed. When you are hungry, you are never satisfied with mediocrity. You always want more, always strive for excellence. Hunger pushes you to work harder, to push through obstacles, to achieve your goals.
Humble and hungry - these two qualities go hand in hand. They complement each other, working together to help you become the best version of yourself. Without humility, you cannot grow. Without hunger, you cannot succeed. But when you combine the two, when you stay humble and hungry for improvement, there is nothing you cannot achieve. So keep pushing yourself, keep striving for more, keep growing and evolving. Stay humble, stay hungry, and watch as your potential becomes limitless.
