Exploring various codes such as Viking ethos, knighthood precepts, the Ranger Creed, and the Navy SEAL ethos reveals a common thread: these codes emphasize virtues like courage, integrity, and humility. Interestingly, while many of these codes focus on traits like bravery or loyalty, humility is notably absent but increasingly recognized as critical.
In a recent example, a child's code included "be humble" alongside other virtues, highlighting its importance in personal and leadership development. However, it appears that many traditional codes overlook humility, perhaps because it’s less flashy than valor or honor, but its absence can undermine character long-term.
