My employees could sometimes do a better job. If only they were more efficient or more powerful.
I have a lot of respect for my co-workers and my boss, but they could certainly learn a thing or two.
If I were really picky (and let's face it, sometimes we all are) my pastor could improve.
And if they just listened, I would have some good advice for some politicians, journalists and athletes.
But the reality is, the first person I have to change is myself.

Instead of screaming from the cheap seats, I can start to take responsibility for my own development.
Instead of worrying about the dust stain in other people's eyes, I can take out the log that I have myself.
