The best leaders you’ll meet are usually the ones who still remember being new.

Competence has a way of erasing the memory of not having it, and that forgetting is where impatience comes from. Somebody who can still recall being lost explains things in the right order, expects the basic questions, and does not treat slowness as a character flaw. It is memory rather than kindness that makes them good at it, and the memory has to be kept deliberately.

Write down what you find confusing about whatever you are new to, while you still are. Keep it for when you are the experienced one. And notice who above you remembers, because they are the model worth copying.
