mighty mouse. interesting enough, humility is defined as being either meek or modest. humility was always a "good" trait in my book. i gotta stop quotations around stuff like "good, bad, best..." it's just so pretentious. anyway. all the dictionary definitions of humble seem to be bad. "showing deferential or submissive respect; low in rank, quality or station." it sounds pretty bad to be humble. is that something someone would even want to be?



i think humility is really just knowing your strengths and weaknesses, and being open with what you're capable of. and then not taking it too far to being cocky or annoyingly unable to accept a compliment. i hate those people. people who can barely accept a compliment. look, you know you're good, i know you're good, just say a quick thanks and acknowledge that you're good. don't pull the "oh no, i'm not that good thing." you are that good. no need to rub it in my face or anything but it's okay for you to acknowledge how good you are at something.



humility is, i think, most of all, about being realistic. but even when you're humble and realistic, you gotta try. often times, once you think you know your limitations you stop trying. i think i do that. but if you try once in awhile you'll suprise yourself.
