Ambition, realism, and modesty

What is clearly a good idea when it is first implemented, can become a bad reality when carried to the extreme. Be careful not to do that.

Sure, big success is often built on top of modest success. Yet very few successful endeavors are able to scale up infinitely.

One person can cook a delicious meal for six people. But a thousand cooks cannot prepare the same quality experience for six thousand diners.

Fortunately, you never have to depend on a single idea to create endless benefits. You can always adjust, refine, and come up with more unique ideas.

Accept that every good thing has its limits. That helps open you up to other good things that are possible.

Ambition can be a powerful positive force. And it’s more reliably fruitful when tempered with realism and modesty.
