We all have the ego, everyone wants to be taken with importance and sometimes things and people don't just play it your way, everyone is in the fight to shine, we all want to teach like we know it all but little do we truly realize that action indeed speak louder than words. Its not in the struggle for the spot light, its not in the brilliant spoken words coming forth from your lips, neither it is in the demanding of your respect by force, no it's not there, people would give you their earnest respect and submission when they are seeing evidence of your workmanship.
You'd be shocked to see how much you can learn from being humble, when you lay low for others to lead no matter how good and learned you think you are, there's always something to learn from another person, no body is an island of knowledge. You know because we are always at the fore front tutoring and directing we really don't get to grow so much. There's a place to always want to know more, seek knowledge from people who have gone ahead. Know how to be teachable, no matter your background, you must learn to be submissive if truly you want someone's knowledge to be passed through to you.
Every master is ready to offload more to that student who is not trying to outshine the master, that student who isn't looking for his master's fault rather is trying so hard to cover up any leakages the master might have and still takes the master like a god, to that student the master is always ready to impact with active supervision to see him or her grow, it's all humility, if you can humble your self before God and your leaders, its only a matter of time before you shine.
Every one is looking for someone who would carry after them, whom people would see and just know that they have successfully impacted their self into them, it's not necessary this persons are their kids although its preferable and makes them happier but anyone would do just fine. Legacy isn't just the surname, it can also be a craft or knowledge and we all must pass it across from your generation to another upcoming generation and who would hand over something so precious to someone who wasn't humble, would you?
Some things we believe to be write and best might just be very wrong and inapplicable, more reason why we should learn from people who has gone ahead of us. You might be the best in the world but we all still have that one person we would keep quiet and listen to. Today everyone is seeking mentorship from those already established individuals, because we have come to realize the benefits of being trained and mentored. We must be humble if truly we aim to be great as much as we can phantom. Even if no one has achieved your desires, you've got to know someone who has something to offer you that would very much be of help, you should also be humble in order to attach and receive from such individual.
Knowledge doesn't find who to dwell in because of money or family status, it would accept and reside in anyone who takes active steps to seek after it. If you are wealthy and you except knowledge to find its way to you, then you're joking, more reason why our early lives were full of teachings and grooming, in our childhood we all had to be taught, and learn the importance of humility to those who knows more than we do. We were students we had teachers to teach us formal education, we had brothers and parents to teach us on basic life's lesson, we had masters to teach us some desired skill sets, we had friends to teach each other about life and the importance of togetherness. Though we had never stopped learning, just we do it in an advanced form presently, but the place for humility in order to learn is never outdated.
Cut down on your pride and try to learn a thing or two, mind you, it's not only the elderly you should be humble towards, inasmuch as you want to get something from someone then you've got to stay humble till your desired goal is achieved. The hand of the receiver is lower while the hand of the giver is on top, this is a practical law of life, if you try to place your hand higher than the giver, there's only a pinch to what you can receive.
Your friends can be the one with the knowledge, your brother, sister, someone younger than you, your enemy, name it anyone could have the knowledge you seek for and while you want what you want you've got to stay humble. Humility doesn't mean you are senseless or low self esteemed, it is more like an investment, you are trying to acquire something that would be beneficial to you on the long run. Humility is a necessary skill in life. Learn to be humble guys.

Wow my favorite author is back!
Well yeah we will learn a lot from everyone around us. So long as we know how to catch up and stay humble, I have known someone who likes talking and appreciating little things. Sharing ideas and learning ideas from different people. I sometimes, due to my introvert side, is so ashamed to do some things like that. And others thought that I wasn't cooperating, its just that I am too shy to even do that! Haha wow! I just think of a new topic title while typing my comment. Hahaha xD
