My quote is from Albert Einstein: "Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them." I was looking for an Einstein quote, as I knew that he had many inspiring statements, and this one spoke to me on a personal level. I have direct experience with pushing my limits from second semester last year, when I became too involved in extracurricular activities, and in order to keep up in my schoolwork obliterated my normal sleeping habits and became physically sick from stress. I completely ignored my limits last year, and it hurt me badly. I learned an important lesson, though: for perhaps the first time in my memory, I learned roughly where my limits are. This quote from Einstein inspires me because it serves as a reminder that I have to push my limits to be successful, but I shouldn't push my limits unless I acknowledge their presence. I hope that this quote can likewise serve as a reminder to others, although perhaps as a slightly different one. I would hope that others can look at this quote and remember that although they have limits, as does everyone, it's okay and even essential to push beyond them.
