If you find yourself seeking to improve your leadership skills, remember this: Leadership is a journey, so enjoy the ride. And just when you think you’ve arrived at the top of the mountain, look up: You’ll always find another peak to climb.

This is what an old sage told me when I hit thirtysomething.

Actually, back then a few wise business leaders who were further down the road than I told me I’d need to learn several things in order to attain their level of success. They saw right through me and they knew where I was headed (not a good place).
