Great reminder. We all have strengths and weaknesses. All have areas for improvement. There's a lot of wisdom here.
I'm immediately am reminded of the Scripture. Not only these verses but the thread of the story throughout.
Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before stumbling. It is better to be humble in spirit with the lowly Than to divide the spoil with the proud.
Proverbs 16:18-19
Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ and behold, the log is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.
Matthew 7:3-5
I often say, there is no amount of intelligence that can't be overcome by arrogance.
