AGpO MEMBERSHIP NEWS Unlock Your Professional Potential The key to achieving your full potential is to position yourself with the right people. Find indi-viduals who possess wisdom and a drive for self-improvement, and let their energy and motivation inspire you to become the best version of yourself. On the other hand, if you associate with people who engage in self-destructive habits, those habits will negatively affect you. Avoid people who try to belittle your ambitions, especially during these unprecedented times. According to Mark Twain, small people always do that, but the greats make you feel that you, too, can become great. Dentistry can be hard – and we can always end up running into obstacles and naysayers along our path to success. During those times, nothing feels better than having someone you can share your fears and doubts with, friends and mentors that not only listen, but also cheer you on to be the best you can be. Surrounding yourself with Humberto Nunez-Gil, DMD like-minded individuals who AGpO President share your values and aspira-tions can greatly increase your chances of achiev-ing your goals and unlocking your full potential.
