Beware of overconfidence. Always keep in mind that fate sits on the other side of the table of life plotting future problems and obstacles for you.

It’s not a question of whether you will experience adversity (You will!), but how you handle it when it makes its appearance — as well as what you learn from it to apply to other situations — that will decide the outcome of your life.

The wise individual realizes that both Nature and people hate arrogance and love humility. Thus, arrogance brings people into your life who want to see you fail, while humility attracts allies.
