I aspire to being neither humble nor arrogant perception of myself; I aspire to having an accurate perception of my self worth in every area.

I read a quote somewhere by Golda Meir, it went 'don't be humble, you're not that great'.

There is a lot of meaning in there, for one, to be truly humble you first have to ascend to greatness.

So for the majority of us ordinary mortals it's fine to be proud of our achievements. But to descend into arrogance is one step too far.
