In a world where everyone seems to be encouraged to talk themselves up, it's great to read some really honest self-criticism. It gives you so much more confidence about a person's ability to grow and develop.
Stuart Pearce is a former international footballer who now manages England's Under-21 team. His name has recently been thrown around as a potential future England manager. Here's how he responded in a recent press conference...
"I'm a manager that has been in control of a team for maybe 150 matches over a four-year period. That is ridiculously lightly raced as a manager. Very lightly experienced. I've got a long-term plan that I keep to myself. The one thing I can tell you is that today I haven't got enough experience by any means. The England manager's job is the pinnacle of anyone's career. When I look at Fabio [Capello, the current England manager] every day and watch him work, I realise how inept I am as a manager."
