A lot of people do not start out humble, people are inherently proud, and sometimes only humbled by life, mistakes or terrible life circumstances.
Bad times can humble people, good times can make them proud, but there are people who are humble because they've trained their minds to be so, and will definitely remain so.
Being humbled by life and suffering consequences is not completely a bad thing. I've known and met people who are subconsciously arrogant, and most of the time I laugh at them because their arrogance is from a place of ignorance.
Unless you've learned and suffered for your mistakes in life, you'll probably not even know that you're an arrogant person, and that's because it's hard to look in the mirror and say "I've messed up, I should have done better, I didn't" people who rarely apologize have never experienced self introspection.
Sometimes they think apologizing is weakness, they don't understand it's a way to experience inner accountability, while becoming a better person.
However this life. I've met people from all works of life, including life. I've met and dealt with extremely greedy individuals and sometimes these people do not realize that greed comes with consequences.
Greedy and arrogant people are some of the most mindless people, they hardly change until it's too late, and they can no longer make amends. Life teaches lessons, but people who have it hardest are those who eventually learn without getting another chance to change.
They usually become walking encyclopedias, with no idea on how to rewrite their mistakes. I know several people like this in life, and their lives are an experience for me. While I might have been previously arrogant or stubborn.
I've realized that I've seen so many life situations that's gotten me to conclude that I'm no longer like that. I've learned humility from a bitter and a place of spirituality and sometimes from a a distant place, I pity people who haven't learned.
why?
Because they're living in a illusion and do not truly understand how devastating life can be when it chooses to. In reality, be humble. If not but for the sake of how short life is, and how it passed too quick. Lots of time we can get too cocky or too wise for the sake of the material things of life, but it all fades away and we become dust at the end anyway.
Humility is the biggest virtue in life. Humble people are hardly guilty of some of the biggest vices in life. A humble person is likely to be contented or less likely to be greedy. My point is that good virtue attracts other good virtues and this is how we generally improve so many aspects of our life. Be humble today, achieve self introspection, and don't learn when it's already too late to utilize this knowledge
