YOU HEAR OF MANY PEOPLE WHO HAPPILY BRAG OF HAVING STOOD WITH THE GREAT, SOME EVEN RUBBING AND “WILLINGLY BRUISED” SHOULDERS WITH THEM.
THE BRAGS THAT GO UNBRAGGED ARE THOSE WHO STOOD WITH THE BROKEN; MANY-A-TIME NOT HAVING TO DO ANYTHING, JUST BEING WITH THEM IN THEIR HOUR OF NEED.

IN ORDER TO BE KIND; YOU HAVE TO BE HUMBLE.
THAT MEANS
NEVER THINK YOU ARE BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE.
IT’S NEVER A LOSS.
IT’S ALWAYS A LESSON.
WE CAN LEARN THINGS WHEN
WE SEE FROM ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW.

BE HUMBLE, YOU SHOULD.
ACT AS THOUGH YOU CAN’T AFFORD THE BREAD.
BE KIND.
BE POLITE.
THEY FIND OUT YOU OWN THE BAKERY.
SOMETIMES, YOU BEING HUMBLE MAKES PEOPLE THINK THEY CAN PLAY WITH YOU.
YOU KNOW BETTER.
ALL THE SAME, BE HUMBLE.

BEING A GREAT LEADER MEANS BEING HUMBLE,
RESPECTING YOUR SUBORDINATES.
THOUGH YOU HAVE THE EXPERIENCE AND MAY KNOW BETTER THAN THOSE DOING THE WORK, ALLOW THEM SPACE. THEY MAY BE ABLE TO SHOW YOU A NEW WAY OR TWO.

A MISTAKE. THAT IS WHAT PEOPLE MAKE WHEN THEY THINK A HUMBLE PERSON IS A WEAK PERSON. IT IS A PERCEPTION WHICH IS A REFLECTION OF THEMSELVES.

FOCUS ON WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY.
REAL PEACE IS NOT HAVING THE URGE TO EXPLAIN OR DEFEND YOURSELF.
THE MORE YOU LIKE YOURSELF,
THE LESS YOU’LL NEED OTHERS TO.
HOWEVER, BE HUMBLE ALWAYS.

“PLEASE” AND “THANK YOU” ARE MUCH BIGGER THAN THEY LOOK.
THEY ARE A REFLECTION OF WHO YOU ARE.
IT IS NICE TO BE IMPORTANT.
HOWEVER, IT IS MORE IMPORTANT TO BE NICE.
DON’T STOP EVEN WHEN YOU ARE PROUD TO BE HUMBLE.
~ ALAN IAN ATKINSON

BEING HUMBLE IS NOT BEING PROUD, NOR ARROGANT,
NOR ASSERTIVE.
IT IS ABOUT BEING KIND.
MAY YOU BE POWERFUL ENOUGH TO BE HUMBLE, ALWAYS.

SOMETIMES, THE PURPOSE OF PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE IS TO TEACH YOU A LIFE LESSON WHICH WILL MAKE YOU STRONGER. SO, TAKE THE TIME EVERYDAY TO BE GRATEFUL FOR THEM.
BE THANKFUL FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU HAVE.
YOU CAN ALWAYS HAVE MORE. BUT, YOU COULD ALSO HAVE LESS.
HAPPINESS HAS TO START WITH YOU. REMEMBER, THAT NOBODY CAN MAKE YOU HAPPY.
YOU HAVE TO BE HAPPY WITH YOURSELF FIRST.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE GREAT TO TREAT OTHERS WITH RESPECT AND KINDNESS.
IT’S YOUR RESPECT, KINDNESS, COMPASSION AND GENEROSITY THAT COUNTS.
