It’s hard for one person to change their surroundings through their own efforts alone, but our surroundings can quietly shape who we become.
So while you’re young, make sure to go somewhere bigger and become more humble.
See more of the world, meet people who are better than you, and learn to understand different cultures, rules, and ways of life.
Don’t let a small achievement in a limited environment make you feel too pleased with yourself, and don’t mistake the limits of the people around you for the ceiling of your own potential.
Go somewhere bigger—not to make yourself seem more impressive, but to discover how much you still don’t know.
Only when you’ve truly seen how vast the world is will you understand how small you are.
And recognizing your own smallness is precisely when you truly begin to grow.
