Humility
is defined by the English dictionary as the quality
or condition of being humble; modest opinion or estimate of one's own importance, rank, etc.
Humility is something that is
gained and practiced as we grow in wisdom and grace. Easton’s 1897 Bible
Dictionary defines “humility” as: a
prominent Christian grace. It is a state of mind well pleasing to God; it
preserves the soul in tranquility and makes us patient under trials [1] Biblical
speaking, humility is the opposite of pride.
And according to one the saurus source, some other antonyms for humility
are: arrogance, assertiveness, egoism, pretentiousness, and self-importance.
Humility is the true key to success. Successful
people lose their way at times. They often embrace and overindulge from the
fruits of success. Humility halts this arrogance and self-indulging trap.
Humble people share the credit and wealth, remaining focused and hungry to
continue the journey of success.
The first test of a truly great man is his humility.
By humility I don't mean doubt of his powers or hesitation in speaking his
opinion, but merely an understanding of the relationship of what he can say and
what he can do.
If we learn not Humility, we learn
nothing and without Humility there is no humanity. Do you wish to rise? Begin by descending. You plan a
tower that will pierce the clouds? Lay first the foundation of humility. Remember,
with pride there are many curses but with humility there are a lot of
blessings. Try Humility and enjoy all it entails.
