Hello dear readers, for personal reasons, I could not return to write an article here, however, I decided to return with such an important topic, because it is something that I managed to live in these weeks of problems, I hope you are very well and enjoy the article.
Humility is a quality that implies detachment to material things and helping others. For that reason, it is one of the most valuable qualities a person can have, and a very important virtue when it comes to living in society. A humble person is capable of demonstrating modesty and puts aside self to care for others. A humble person is not selfish or self-centered, does not focus on his or her person and achievements, nor does he or she seek to stand out from others. In this way his actions are objective and he does not allow himself to be carried away by the subjective.
« I thank these beautiful people from the bottom of my heart for their support and dedication, if you still do not read any article about them or do not know them, we invite you to do so, it will be the best decision you've made in your life »
Some people confuse humility with social status; being humble is not synonymous with poverty, however many associates it. In recent years we have seen a society concerned only with material things; people who only think about themselves, who no matter who they hurt do not stop to get what they have set out to achieve; and the most worrying thing is that it happens between siblings, partners, neighbors and even those who claim to be best friends. As it was said at the beginning, humility is a quality that very few know and practice; whoever is humble knows his limitations and weaknesses. He is capable of downplaying his achievements and recognizing his faults and mistakes. Humility is not alone, it is accompanied by the nobility because being humble and noble is one of the most beautiful qualities that make the human being a unique and special being.
And it is that we can recognize a humble behavior of any individual, and you may wonder: ¿What are those behaviors?.
When we recognize the people, who at some point helped us in our lives, and we are grateful to them, for having given us their support.
Admitting when we are wrong when we make a mistake, and even when we lose, we cannot go through life thinking that we are superior to everyone and that we can always win, no matter what.
There is nothing more beautiful in life than to learn, to acquire knowledge daily, but not only to keep that information, but also to share it, to help those people around us, and encourage them to study, to transmit everything we know.
"Humility is the only true wisdom that prepares us for all possible life changes". - George Arliss
To value the successes we obtain, without bragging, without boasting about what we achieve, because we do not know in what situation other people are in, and perhaps also at some point, they tried to obtain what we did. So we cannot, as we would say colloquially, rub their faces in a triumph when that is celebrated internally.
That is what we lack these days, humility. It's the age of "me" so we want all the attention to ourselves and we will do what it takes to get the attention we want. We mask our true intentions.
