Common ground

How to reconcile them

Big ambition, small ego. Set bold goals and believe you can grow into them, while staying a student, open to correction and quiet about your plans.

When each side is right

Think big when you're limiting yourself or afraid to try. Stay humble when you're succeeding, leading others, or certain you're right.
