Stand up for what you believe in, but realize you are small in the eyes of God. Do not be so righteous that you let your ego be your own demise.

Our current economic problems are largely due to false self-assurance. Bankers and economists believed they were untouchable and that they could do no wrong. They did not take heed of the signs of decline or the risks they were taking and now we have all paid.

Be humble, but firm in your beliefs, and you will find yourself more successful and stable than ever before. If you let your ego get ahead of you, you will fall.
