About this Quote

This quote recommends that our previous successes can be an obstacle to our future progress. It suggests that if we end up being too focused on our past successes, we might become complacent and not aim to reach our full capacity. We might become so comfortable with our previous successes that we end up being unwilling to take risks and try brand-new things. This can lead to stagnation and avoid us from accomplishing our goals. It is very important to bear in mind that our past successes must be celebrated, but we ought to likewise strive to continue to grow and establish. We should utilize our previous successes as a structure to build on, however not as a barrier to our future development.
