Know Your Limitations

For all his confidence, it is rare that Bob bites off more than he can chew. It’s as if he knows his limitations. He is aware not to be too ambitious.

It’s almost as though he knows that old Chinese saying: ‘A bird can roost but on one branch and a mouse can drink no more than its fill from a river.’

It is something I tell myself often.

We should all know – and accept – our limitations.
