what does "tempered by humility"mean?
When I was considering a run for president in 1987, I asked some friends and former colleagues for their thoughts and advice. André de Staercke was one of them. He urged me to appeal to the optimistic spirit of America, a country that he revered for its resilience and can-do nature. He sent me the thought above, which I added to my collection of rules. De Staercke hit on an essential element of leadership—the determination to achieve tempered by humility. It is the ability to accept that there is a great deal out there in the world that we don’t know and cannot know, as well as things that we think we know but might judge incorrectly. This is a perspective that comes from experience. And from the courage to venture out into the world and make mistakes and, yes, even fail.2. does "the determination to achieve"mean "the will to succeed"?
