I have just a few simple rules. Be: - World class at what you do - Humble - Helpful - Someone with a reputation for solving problems, not causing more

  Not sure you can consider yourself to be world class and also be humble. Humble is a state of mind, not a behaviour. Perhaps aiming to be world class.

    Is a stete of mind, and can be seen completely different from the outside. Whenever I knew something, I always assumed all know that, because if I know that… The problem is, I came across always as rude. I had to adjust my “humble being”

    better way is to be humbled. we can be world class, and at the same time have the appreciation on how other people excel at their craft. especially the fact that we are standing at the shoulders of giants.

    > Not sure you can consider yourself to be world class and also be humble. A good example of such a union is Newton’s letter to Hooke (1675). Most folks will recognize the “standing on the shoulders of giants” quote.
