Improvement through Inner Attitude – Epictetus Quote
“If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid with regard to external things. Don’t wish to be thought to know anything; and even if you appear to be somebody important to others, distrust yourself.

But while you are careful about the one, you must of necessity neglect the other”
