“Before you are a champion you are an amateur.
Before you are a general you are a warrior.
Before you are a politician you are a constituent.
Before you are a president you are a citizen.
Before you are a pastor you are a parishioner.
Before you are a pope you are a priest.
Before you are a teacher you are a student.
Before you are a guru you are a disciple.
Before you are an inventor you are a scientist.
Before you are a judge you are a lawyer.
Before you are a maestro you are an apprentice.
Before you are a coach you are an athlete.
Before you are a genius you are a talent.
A humble amateur is better than a proud champion.
A humble warrior is better than a proud general.
A humble constituent is better than a proud politician.
A humble citizen is better than a proud president.
A humble parishioner is better than a proud pastor.
A humble priest is better than a proud pope.
A humble student is better than a proud teacher.
A humble disciple is better than a proud guru.
A humble scientist is better than a proud inventor.
A humble lawyer is better than a proud judge.
A humble apprentice is better than a proud expert.
A humble athlete is better than a proud coach.
A humble talent is better than a proud genius.”
