Welcome, Prince,' said Aslan. 'Do you feel yourself sufficient to take up the Kingship of Narnia?'I - I don't think I do, Sir,' said Caspian. 'I am only a kid.'Good,' said Aslan. 'If you had felt yourself sufficient, it would have been proof that you were not.

In this passage from "Prince Caspian" by C.S. Lewis, Aslan addresses Caspian, questioning his readiness to accept the role of king in Narnia. Caspian expresses doubt, admitting his youth and inexperience, which highlights his humility and self-awareness.

Aslan's response reinforces the idea that true leadership stems from recognizing one's limitations. He suggests that if Caspian had felt entirely sufficient for the task, it would indicate a lack of wisdom and readiness for kingship. This exchange emphasizes the importance of humility in leadership roles.
