From source;

Timidity is not humility and simplicity is not stupidity, take in humility and let go your pride.

Take in humility and emit pride because pride will not lead you to your humble destination, it is only humility that would do, humility will definitely accompany you to the humble destination that you didn't even expect that you can reach, it doesn't matter your qualifications and your achievement, you can always let go of pride knowing before you have what you have or become what you are that other people have already reached there.

Emit pride and embrace humility, for a humble person can be called to join in the kings and queens dinner while the proud people may not have such an opportunity, when a child is humble he will respect people of the high calibers, it's said that a child that washes his hands clean would eat with the big men, and that comes as result of humility, there's no child with pride over him that would washes his hands clean, it only takes a humble child to do such.

Inhale humility and exhale pride for pride is not a good thing and it can never be, according to the wise saying, humility open doors to the humble, but pride closes it to the proud, it would be very difficult for a proud person to listen to instructions, while the humble is likening to instructions, a humble child easily takes the father's blessing more than the proud child, a proud child cannot be bless like the humble child because the proud doesn't take instructions.

It's good to let go of pride and practice humility because a humble type is more prosperous more than the proud type, of course we know why the proud people finds it very difficult to be successful in their career, but some people at times are likely to misquote the meaning of humility and pride let's check it together.

Humility meaning

Humility is being humble in character and in your behavior of doing things, the way and the character you use in responding to people around you.

It's the ability to live life without pride or without arrogance.

Pride meaning

Pride is simply having a proud or disdainful behavior or treatment towards others, it can also seen as insolence or arrogance.

Pride is a sense of one's worth, and also pride can be a state of believing in no same and positive approach to personal identity.

Some people misinterpret humility by seeing it as the opportunity used by some individuals to use others, while because of your humility they would like want to use your brain thinking that you don't know your human rights, I can't stop saying that timidity is not humility, know your right and use it, don't allow people to abuse your humility.

From source;

And in the other hand side people see pride as moral, some people would take everything on their head by saying that they know everything, they will like seeing how much they worth, the self respect, self esteem, elevation of character and bearing proud delight..

People love those that are humble and hate the proud, even God the superior love the humble types, He uses the humble why abandoning the proud, Be ready to let go of pride and admire humility, by taking doses of this quote from the scripture and humble yourself in other to be lifed.

For all those who exalt themselves will be humble and those who humble themselves will be exalted. Like 14:11

Therefore as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion kindness humility gentleness and patient. Col, 3:12

If people who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked Ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land .2Chronicles 7:14

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, rather in humility value others above yourself. Phillip 2:3

Live in harmony with one another, don't be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Don't be conceited. Rom 12:16

Yes downfall comes as a result of pride. Humility is the key and if at all we need success I think we embrace humility and let go of pride.
