"As long as you're green, you're growing. As soon as you're ripe, you start to rot.” - Ray Croc
My principal shared this with us in the context that we're all growing... He doesn't expect anyone to be perfect, and he doesn't ever put irrational or unkind pressure on any of us. He just wants us to continue to grow, as he, in fact, is doing, as well. A good place to be.
By the way, a few minutes earlier, our superintendent shared a version of this idea - a quote from one of his mentors: "If you think you're good, you're dead."
