Remove both arrogance and humility, and what is left is the potential for a
calm knowledge of the potential of one's own abilities. A knowledge that
produces a confidence that no one can shake, because it does not require
constant reinforcement through comparison with others.
To put in another way: Do not walk ahead of me, so that I must follow you.
Do not walk behind me, so that I must lead you. Walk beside me, so that
we can talk.
