Know yourself (Humility vs Pride)
Humility is **accepting** corrections over and over again. Pride is **rejecting** corrections saying "I've been hearing this over and over again". Humility is **listening** to the wisdom of the lowly people, even if you're a millionaire. Pride is **declining** to listen, thinking about "I am more than you." Now, which one are you? The things you achieved, the medals you've won, the certificates you've gained, the tons of money you owned, the luxurious things you could afford, and the fame you get - remember that behind all these, are the lowly people in the economy, persevering in farms, working in factories and etc., who fed the wealthy ones. The moment they'll stop working, your world will stop turning. Rejecting the poor means rejecting yourself because all you have right now, was the product of their sacrifices. I didn't say that the richer ones are bad because every one of us has its dark side. But just because mostly of them are abusing the poor, and being blinded by money and power, that's why I say this. Life is a vice versa. And the greatest thing you could give is respect, in order to get one in return. photo (c) ; Lost in Anime

Yeah, and humility is recognizing that you are not above anyone and that everyone is equal in the sight of God.
