In some corners they say that pride is a vice. I guess too much is, as hubris is the starting point of irrelevance. And arrogance is the DNA of closed-mindedness.

Yet just the right dosing of pride is pretty perfect. To cause you to be confident. To inspire you to believe in the dreams that the crowd has advised you are impossible. To prompt you to feel very good about being inside your skin.

It is one thing to be successful. It is another thing to sustain success over the coming decades. Is that not a powerful idea? It is very hard to come up with your Sistine Chapel. Got it. It is even harder to become a Michelangelo. Play the long game. Aim for legendary. Don't just say, I want to be world class in my dominant pursuit for a little window of time. Say, I want to have the guts and the grit and the acumen and the mindset and the capability and the commitment to create enduring success. And that's why I say nothing fails like success. You look at the restaurant that is hot in your neighborhood right now, they're on the path to obsolescence if they're not really careful. Sure, they went from a little neighborhood shop that made beautiful pasta, that had great service, that had the owner on the floor, shaking your hand, getting to know your name. Then they got written up in the magazines and then they got interviewed and then word of mouth spread like wildfire and what happened? They became arrogant.see, success can be so toxic. It is such a pull on every human being. It just plays with your mind and you literally shift from humility to arrogance. You shift from humility to arrogance and once the arrogance sets in in a mindset, it starts to populate every other person on the team, every other person in the culture, every other person in the community. And it is a very short fall from success to irrelevance.
