It’s good to know our limits. Because it’s in knowing what we can’t do—or what we don’t know—that we reach a place where we’re willing to ask for help. But if we never realize that we can’t do something—or can’t do it well—we may just keep on trying, ending up with either failure or an inferior result.
It can be humbling to say, I don’t know, or, I can’t do that, but in admitting our own limitations, we reach a place where we can more readily involve others who can help us get beyond those limitations. And when people work together, allowing each other’s skills and knowledge to complement the rest, the limitations of a single person soon grow irrelevant.
