RE: The Problem with Humility (Contest)

in #contest6 years ago

I am one of those people who really have no clue or idea what humble really is, I know what humility is, but humble, have never really been sure about. A stupid phrase 'eating humble pie", I mean what is it. I do not think humility is the opposite of it, but since I don't really know what it is I am likely wrong.

Yip I googled it, I just see it as people think you are good but you don't acknowledge it yourself.

@tamala ;) pretty in red. Thank you @bashadow

yeah that red was a cool find, I saw it, and just had to have it. Then after finding it I got reminded there was an easier way to have found it than searching through the page source code for that one little line, (inspect element). No other colors available and you can't change on the fly between red and black back to red in a sentence, but still fun to play with.

Okay so opposite of humble would be egotistical, or sort of. Able to acknowledge that you are better than someone else. I know there is more to it, but nutshell it is.
Humble "your right, what was I thinking?"
Ego "I am right, you were thinking wrong!"

Mmm not so much dispute but guess acknowledging you are wrong is the same, you should read the posts from this weeks #dropintheocean sort by created for the humility posts, it might help. Yes it is about not being egotistical but still knowing your own self-worth, even when you do great things which others go bananas over you see it as no biggy and keep on keeping on and don't expect praise even if it does make you fuzzy you keep your jizz in your pants. :)
