My state of Humilty


 

Better practice humility. That is what I would change.

Every person that you meet in this life knows something

that you don't; learn from them. Be willing to acknowledge

your own shortcomings; adopt a posture of humble

perceptiveness. 

 

Looking back, humility is what I lacked. 

Life is a long lesson in humility, and college is one of the

biggest chapters. I now understand that humility has nothing

to do with the insecurity or inadequacy. Just like arrogance

has nothing to do with greatness or superiority.

 

So seek to uncover your shortcomings and blind spots. 

Seek to discover truth with a genuine heart.

And most of all, assume you have something to learn about everything.
