"For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted."
Luke 14:11
It's crucial to take a sense of humility into the world. If your attitude is that only smarter people have something to teach you, your learning opportunities will be very limited. But if you have a humble eagerness to learn something from everybody, your learning opportunities will be unlimited!
Generally, you can be humble only if you feel really good about yourself and want to help those around you feel really good about themselves too.
When we see people acting in an abusive, arrogant, or demeaning manner towards others, their behaviour almost always is a symptom of their lack of self-esteem. They need to put someone else down to feel good about themselves.
"And note this: Some who seem least important now will be the greatest then, and some who are the greatest now will be least important then."
Luke 13:30
P/S: Sometimes, we just need to keep quiet a while, listen and observe people around us to learn and to reflect how humility is being practiced in our daily life nowadays.
