All greatness looks like ego to wannabes. Never judge others through the lens of your own unrealized potential.

The thought behind the quote
What do Washington, Lincoln, Churchill, Mandela, Tom Brady, Bill Gates, Celine Dion, Michelangelo, DiVinci, Jeff Bezos, King David, Warren Buffett, Michael Jordan, Einstein, and Martin Luther King Jr. all have in common?
GREATNESS!
When you look at someone who has achieved extraordinary results, that almost seem SUPERHUMAN, you will either be inspired by them or be intimidated by them. You will be challenged by them or offended by them. You will respect them for who or what they have done if you will not judge them.
If you chose to be intimidated, offended or judge others, you CANNOT benefit from their greatness!
“When you choose to SEE the best in others even when their worst has been displayed, you qualify yourself to receive the best from that person.” @leadershipology

Never allow anyone’s weakness or personality differences to cause you to not benefit from their greatness! If someone has achieved any level of greatness, never allow your unrealized potential to judge them and keep yourself from benefiting from their greatness.
Your potential for greatness can be more readily achieved if you will choose to focus on the greatness in others...and not disqualify yourself because of your focus on their ego!
One of the best life rules that you can adopt is to never judge another person as egotistical because if and when you do, you have just exalted yourself above them...egotistically speaking:)
