 What does it truly mean to rise in the world? Arthur Brooks recently wrote about the 'quiet ego' – a state of inner confidence unburdened by the need for constant external validation. Remarkably, this week's quote from the 1500s echoes this very sentiment: that when you cut through the noise of status, at our core, we are all simply human.
