This weeks Drop in the ocean topic is Humility
It's fair to say that these DITO topics stretch my old brain a touch....
Build me a son who will be strong enough to know when he is weak, brave enough to face himself when he is afraid. One who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat and humble and gentle in victory. Douglas MacArthur
The opposite to humble is arrogant...
Arrogance is a trait I don't particularly like. To me arrogance can be the height of rudeness..
Being humble on the other hand is an attractive quality. To down play what you do and make others feel that they have worth is truly a great gift. It makes people want to be around you because they feel valued.
It's human nature to want people to know when you've achieved something that you are proud of because it feels good when others say "Wow well done, that's awesome" but it can be pushed to far when you think no one else can do it better!!!
It's a fine balance that we need to learn as we go through life..
You know you've reached true success the day you become truly humble. That's the day you stop needing tp prove to the world and yourself that you've accomplished something meaningful.... Naveen Jain
Humility
So that if and when we stumble
We don't look so foolish
It's better to be unpretentious
So that when things become contentious
It's easier to back down
It's better to be respectful
Than it is to be neglectful
Of others feelings and talents
Treat others with much courtesy
Stop living in a fantasy
That you are somehow better
