Summary

This quote suggests that it is more beneficial to give someone challenging work that exceeds their current abilities, rather than simply providing them with education or training to help them become better than their current role or responsibilities. By giving individuals tasks that are difficult and require them to stretch their limits, they are more likely to develop their skills and abilities. In contrast, focusing solely on educating someone to be better than their existing work may limit their growth and potential for personal development.
