Article written by Corneliu Bodea, CEO of Adrem for Republica.ro<\/em> I think there comes a time in most people’s lives when the proximity of limits begins to be felt. Looking at the seemingly insurmountable fence, some stop turning their backs on it and looking back, others crash madly into it, seeming not to notice it, and others start looking for paths to go around it or stairs to jump it. You can’t help but encounter this moment… Whatever goal you have set for yourself, whatever context may envelop you stickily, we all trust ourselves enough to set destinations that are beyond us. The progress of humanity itself is made of this wonderful and unconscious fabric. Am I writing this to you because I experience limits myself? Definitely! You feel them insidious at first, like an embarrassment from a shoe. Something annoying that comes between you and the decisions you have to make. They have a hint of vagueness and a taste of disappointment. They are your own limits and are all the more difficult to recognize because they are yours and yours alone. They are part of you as well as your powers and are probably born together with them to distinguish us from the Creator. They are something bad, because they create frustration and the risk of getting bogged down, and something good, because they bring with them the chance to surpass yourself. We are all subjective, and this distinguishes us from the rest of the known objects and beings in the universe, or perhaps because this really gives depth to our being. Is the profound explanation of the ancient exhortation: “know thyself” related to this typically human trait? Certainly, this exhortation, which has resisted the analysis of philosophers for millennia and has opened up unlimited avenues of thought, remains a fundamental endeavor related to human evolution. The connection between human limits and subjectivity, or rather the causal relationship, becomes evident when we think about how self-knowledge can contribute to overcoming one’s own limits. Another question could be the one that questions the existence of limits that can be overcome. Well, are there limits, or are they not?! What limits are they if they can be exceeded? One answer would be that I mean those innate or educated limits, which only a part of us can overcome. Surely you have experienced moments when you realized that you had done something that you never thought you could do, even if that something was just a Roller Coaster experience… We talk about those limits. Why did Socrates, the most mysterious of philosophers, choose to make this exhortation taken from an inscription one of his few statements flooded in a sea of questions? Perhaps because we still observe people divided into two main categories: those who have the ability to plant sufficient objectivity in self-analysis and who denote a strong curiosity in this process and those who, through exaggerated or ignorant self-confidence, dissipate all their energy externally. I am often given to observe, both in the public space and in the environment in which I live, attitudes that reflect a distorted image of themselves in people. Less often, indeed, do I meet or observe people who show balance and reasonableness in the external expression of their own being. In this way, they make an obvious connection between the very different evolution of the two categories established according to these criteria. Some seem unwavering and confident, have perhaps few but firm convictions, prefer the comfort zone and demonstrate a limited ability to open up and be authentic, proving modest evolutions throughout their existence. The others are perhaps sometimes doubtful, willing to leave their comfort zone, can be open, expose their vulnerability with courage and show evolution throughout their existence. When you dedicate 30 years of your life to an activity, you get to know it very well, to experiment enough, to get tired more than once, to enjoy so many successes, to accumulate so many scares, that it is impossible not to feel your limitations. Of course, what has kept you “trapped” in what you do for so long is strong enough to want to stay, to perform. At the same time, for me as an entrepreneur and leader, the goals and vision adopted go beyond both my immediate and personal interest, as well as my perspective of active life. What is obvious, however, is that bringing this vision to life goes beyond my personal limits and assumes that I would have enough stairs and find enough paths to overcome countless walls. How else to evolve and find ground under each step moving forward, other than starting from who you are? But how difficult is it to accept that you are weak here or there, how dramatic after a life of success in which you have built the pedestal of your own statue?! How to present yourself vulnerable and still inspire strength? As usual, the answers are found in the question: accept who you are, evaluate yourself independently, identify your weaknesses, show your vulnerability, because only the strong can do that.
