In this world full of arrogance and braggings will you still practice humility? Or will you try to go with the flow, feeding your ego and boast the things that you have and what you achieve?
I always find it humorous when a person brags with others that was below in there level, like why would you brag to them? When you aren't even on the same level. They only end up looking foolish, that seems they were lacking attention. (This was familiar, with this day haha!)
Humility will always make difference
I admire people who are achiever but I don't when they started to brag, to be arrogant or to have the feeling of self entitlement to degrade others just because they are ahead of others, when that happens a person becomes bossy.
But things will be different when a person practice humility at all times, we all have egos. We like to be appreciated, we like the feeling that we have some titles but it shouldn't stay in our head.
It's okay to accept appreciation and admiration, you can keep it in your heart but never let it stay in your head.
How does humility make a change?
When people are humble enough comparison of things with fellows will not be around. Instead the person who posses success or have some potential will encourage and motivate others so they will be like them instead of belittling.
When people are humble they are more than willing in pushing others to do their best instead of dragging them down. They are constant motivators than being competitor.
How do I accept admiration, appreciation and critisism?
When some people appreciate or admire me for being who I am, I take it to my heart. I appreciate it, I felt honored, happy and self satisfaction.
Some people said, I am smart. When I was still a student, I don't do good with my studies (I regretted it now) but I still manage to get good marks. Some of my classmates said, if only I am a studios person I have the chance to be on a deans lister always and became a Cumlaude student. I just shrugged it off, I know in myself I have the capabilities and potential but I don't mind it, I was busy dealing with shits in life plus I lack moral support.
When people appreciate that I am pretty, that I look younger than my age. I am happy but that's all, I don't really make it a big deal because I know there are more pretty faces out there than me and it's not enough reason to felt self entitlement.
When people criticize me, if their criticism somehow made a sense and does not degrade me I accept it in positive way, learn from it. In this world there will always be critisism, it's up to us how we deal with it. I don't insist my point especially if I was on the wrong side, I don't do defense mechanism. I apologize when I am wrong and humble myself. It's not that hard at all setting aside your ego if you practice humility.
Closing Thoughts
If people appreciate me for being pretty, smart, hot, cute and etc. It doesn't move me that much, not because I want more but because those things will fade one day. But when I was appreciated for being humble, that was the most satisfying appreciation I'll ever have, it's because it is based on character and character will last until we grow old.
@PVMihalache hit that spot, haha! He really knows what will make my heart grow fonder. He wrote this one under his article, January to October - The 1st nine months of Club1BCH
I didn't write this to brag that I am humble, but to inspire you to practice humility at all times as there are people who doesn't look at your possession, your status but to your character instead like me. Beauty fades when we grow old, smartness will fade once we get sick, richness will fade in a snap in the most unexpected ways but our beautiful character will remain until lifetime.
Be humble, it will lift you up without even trying hard.

Thank you for sharing this reminder, eybyoung. Everywhere we go, theres always these type of people who like bragging, feeling entitled and are arrogance, we people, as nature can be influenced by them. However, we are the one to choose and to decide on what we become. So, I'll go with becoming more humble. Indeed, people who are humble are the one's who like to inspire and motivate others. In my workplace, I have my Tl and our QA, they are the one who pushed me to do my best and got promoted someday.
