Was reading some memorable quotes of Dag Hammarskjold, the second Secretary-General of the UN and here's one that really caught my attention:
I found this quote quite confusing. In fact, a bit contradictory too. However, reading his life and his thoughts, I realized that it only those with a depth of character can state so. For every common or mean person, others having faith in you is a dangerous position. Elevated to that level of trust, one either feels above others or suppressed by their expectations. Rarely does one feel humbled and strengthened, unless very balanced.
