They have to keep pursuing…And it’s the old proverbial tree. They either die or they grow, and you water them, feed them, nurture them, support them, shore them up, do what you have to do, but you don’t get to stop growing. You have to continually pursue that.” - Jim Robinson, (2:16)“Driven people find happiness in being driven. And if you’re cutting yourself short in your career because you’re pulling back the reins on what your true capabilities are, there’s something else going on there. You’re not truly living in your space or where you should be.” - Jim Robinson, (19:57) “Your capacity is what you can envision, right? And if you have a vision of it, it means it’s achievable. Its people are not applying themselves to get to those capabilities…The individual has to have the responsibility of pursuing it to get it handled because if you have a vision of that, it means it’s a reality.” - Jim Robinson, (22:36)
