Are You A Full Cup?

If nothing else, be humble enough to learn.

I’ve seen absolutely broken people become athletic, turned their lives around, accomplish unbelievable things. But they were willing to be mentored or taught.

On the contrary, overconfident students were done before we met. From the moment I began to interview possible employees back in 2005, I would ask cocky candidates, “how do you pour more water into a full cup?”

I’ve since seen it in conversations with would-be clients here and there. Until someone is genuinely and deeply willing to reevaluate, they won’t grow. And I have met a lot of full cups.
