How to quit with admirable aplomb
Lady Butler-Sloss, a talented British judge with 35-year career, had just resigned, citing that she lacked the degree of experience to deal with Diana’s high profile case. Such candor is rare. I think the smart people always know the time to exit the stage before the light is out on them. Hong Kongers like to say if you don’t have a big head, try not to fit into that big head. Sadly many people don’t know, they either overstay their welcome or step into something that’s totally beyond their limited abilities, this is different from aiming high.
