MODESTY

Ability to honestly recognize our virtues and defects.

The concept Humility comes from Humus, which means earth. The rest of human values are planted on the land of humility. The land can be enriched or impoverished. Not all types of soil are perfect for everything. It is worth recognizing what type of land I am - what talents I have - and which ones I can sow and develop, have.

Humility allows us to recognize who we are, be grateful for our talents, and undertake to overcome our defects without discouragement.

Humility frees us from pressure. Sometimes in our imagination we believe we are the best, the wisest and the most powerful and then we see in reality that this is not the case. This deception causes frustration between what I would like to be and who I am.

We all make mistakes and we should not get discouraged or stop fighting to improve. We need the advice of those who want to help us. That they make us see who we are and that we want to know it is a great success.

A trait of the humble person is sincerity. Recognizing and valuing the successes of others opens the doors to improvement. True humility gives peace.

Laughing at yourself is the best therapy to gain humility.

“One thing golf teaches you is humility.”

Robert Wagner

“A great man is always wishing to be small.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

“When you lose don't say anything. And when you win, say even less. Be humble in your victories and elegant in your defeats. Let the others talk.”

Ignacio Novo

“Good things are done, but they are not said. There are medals that hang from the soul, not from the jacket.”

Gino Bartali

“Humility is the truth.”

St. Teresa of Ávila
