About this Quote

This quote by Arthur Hays Sulzberger speaks to the importance of self-reflection. He suggests that for most of the year, we concentrate on the defects of others, however at the start of a brand-new year, we need to put in the time to take a look at our own imperfections. He believes that this is a beneficial practice to have, as it enables us to determine locations of our lives that need enhancement and to set goals for the upcoming year. This quote encourages us to take a step back and reflect on our own lives, rather than continuously evaluating others. It is a suggestion that we must aim to be better versions of ourselves and to put in the time to examine our own development. By doing this, we can make significant changes in our lives and end up being the very best variations of ourselves.
