A red flag of arrogance is seeing flaws in everyone's ideas but your own. You strive to prove your intelligence by attacking others. A green light of humility is applying critical thinking to your own ideas. You aim to improve your intelligence by learning from others.

10 In the worst moments of running a company, when the stress is oppressive, I think on my hardest races, dozens of marathons in blistering heat, snowy mountains, or worse, and I think: If I could do those, then I can do this. And I am right. Running has given me everything. 🌠
