“One finds limits by pushing them”
— Herbert Simon

Simplified Meaning:
To understand what you can handle or achieve, you need to test yourself by going beyond what is comfortable or familiar. Imagine someone who wants to be a better runner. If they always run the same short distance, they will never know how far they can actually go. But if they gradually try running longer and longer distances, they learn their true potential and endurance. This idea applies to anything in life, like learning a new skill, facing a fear, or taking on a challenging project at work. By stepping out of your comfort zone and pushing your boundaries, you discover your true capabilities and often find you can do more than you thought possible.
