In job interviews and college admissions, we focus too much on what candidates have accomplished, and too little on what obstacles they've overcome. The true measure of people's potential is not the height of the peak they've reached, but how far they've climbed to get there.

Weak leaders start by praising themselves and criticizing others. They take credit and give blame. Strong leaders begin by criticizing themselves and praising others. They take responsibility and give credit. #SaturdayThoughts
