I’m neither as smart, nor as dumb as people think I am.
- Therefore:
- I shouldn’t think of myself more highly than I ought to think. (Romans 12:3)
- I need to be realistic about what is said and shouldn’t take their praise more seriously than is really warranted.
- I shouldn’t worry about what others think.
- I shouldn’t quickly take offense at criticism since its intent is probably not as serious as I think.
- I should consider the validity of any criticism, and if valid, heed and grow from it.
