"You can place little value on self-importance and image and still be confident in your ability to do well that which you’ve chosen to do in your life. In fact, we are all called to do our best — whether that’s the best in the world or the best in your hometown. Your personal best in this life is what is required. I would say that being the best far exceeds material accolades — awards, how many famous people you’ve worked with, how much money you have, how many things you own. Being the best also means being good to those around you, remembering you are not above others simply for devoting yourself to a task you deemed worth the little time we have to make an impact in this life. Humility is a belief in the unearned but inherent value of those around us and in the understanding that we ourselves are not above them."
