“Fly too close to the sun” encapsulates the cautionary tale of Icarus, who, despite warnings from his father Daedalus, flew too high on waxen wings and was doomed to fall. It serves as a metaphor for the dangers of hubris, the excessive pride that blinds individuals and organizations to risks and consequences, leading to their downfall. The myth teaches the importance of humility, self-awareness, and learning from past mistakes to avoid the pitfalls of overconfidence and achieve lasting success.
