HUMBLE
Posted by WarAngel1
Just do your own thing quietly, the right people will notice and stick with you.
This.
I think it's about having confidence and not bragging or gloating about stuff. I'm humble naturally. I don't like the spotlight, I get shy when people tell me good job. I am happy on the inside but embarrassed on the outside. I don't take compliments from accomplishments very well. Especially if it's something that just comes natural and people make a big deal of it.

so many people say ‘be humble’but how do you go about having this trait?
If your humble because it’s in vogue then are you really humble?
@WarAngel1 knows a lot about this actually. One of the humblest people I know on here.
This one time I was calling a bisch out on here for lying and WarAngel commented: “So what if she’s lying? Let her have her moment and do your own thing.” (Or something like that).

On the opposite end, everyone deserves to be their own cheerleader.

Pretend humbility. I’ve seen it before, almost like wolves in sheeps clothing.
Imo it means being happy for what you have, and not really paying much attention to what you don't. Especially when it's the things others have that you don't.
You could also say being humble means having a lot but not putting people down, bragging about it, or being arrogant about it. Which is still bring happy for what you have, and not really paying attention to what you don't.

I am just like that.

It's not shady since I am calling you out to your face. And it's not a typo when you use it twice in two separate posts. You didn't know the word.

Mostly for me just being aware of my own limitations + trusting others to do a better job of something bigger than all of us put together. It's easy to overestimate how much I can do alone.
I mean, that’s an honest enough assessment, we all face limitations, and while it can makes us more humble, I think ultimately, being humble is an act, vs. humility which is a way of life.

to be humble is to not think you're better than anyone else bcuz of the skills you hold and how far you've succeeded and you still manage to remain true to yourself in the process
So if Ali thinks he’s a better boxer than Frazier, that would make Ali not humble?

Instead of just admitting you didn't know the word properly, and saying "oops". You needed to lie and call it a typo, and then further get defensive.

Unless you have a flip phone from 1997, autocorrect is a function.
And in the event you do have a Nokia with an extendable antenna, unless English is not your native tongue, there is no excuse to being poorly educated on your first language.

When people see you doing well they ask you to be humble lol, they dont want you to advance. A smart one would continue giving support and try to benefit from it.
Humility and career advancement are not in conflict with each other. In general, your accomplishments and skills speaks for itself...and anything additional seems unnecessary...
If you tell me about a certain accomplishment, I would be happy for you. If you tell me the same thing for the 2nd or 3rd time, I would still be happy for you. If I'm hearing it for the 10th time or more, that's when it starts to get excessive, imo.

I agree, to a certain extent but what if that individual feels unappreciated, so they overcompensate not out of ego but rather a subconscious need to feel appreciated.

That should come from within one's self and not from the other parties. If you have to say something to believe something about yourself, then fundamentally, you don't really believe you have it to begin with, imo.

That’s flawed to me. All motivation begins with thoughts, intent, and then spoken into action. Yes, not saying go around talking about how great you are everyday but humans need, eat, no breathe recognition.

Signs that lack humility:Aries
Leo
Libra
Scorpio
Capricorn
From what I've experienced.
Leos care about world issues and people deep down inside, we’re just not willing to set ourselves on fire in order to keep others warm though. I can’t speakfo the rest except maybe Scorpios who have lifelong battles of emotional turmoil, but they can be very humble when you get to know them. I won’t waste my time with caps or Libras. No comment.

I'm around very successful ppl.They're humble Bexcuse they've failed and gained
The best people i know are very rich CEOs
I know i cannot belive I'm saying that but out in the northwest ppl are mostly chill
Yes you got the weirdos but generally their peers humble them
Everyone wants to win. So humbleness comes from understanding that to be a great leader you have to be relatable
I'm around geniuses that are so kind and sweet
They're not humble when it comes to their work. They shine
They're humble in how they interact with others.
Never be humble about your genius your work or what you achieve
Humbleness comes from respecting ppl.
Period. That's it
Respect
So do you feel that a leader’s role is essentially to serve? Being relatable can be faked. How can you really discern the sincerity of those around us?
In my opinion being humble is a state of mind that comes from knowing your place in the universe, that you are a spec of dust and that everything doesn’t revolve around you.
At least not all the time, I think when you’re doing something that you love and that you’re engrossed in that thing and in that moment the universe does revolve around you but not when you’re being egotistical and showing your pride.
All the energy you put into being proud about your achievements should go into your work and you will be humble
Love what you do and do it well

Lol Not even remotely true, but you can have your opinion.
I do suggest you do some research on ego, egoism, humility and living humbly. You have a minor grasp on each seperate thing from what I have read in the thread and seem to be very confused on what is what.

define ego, and I’m not talking about regurgitating every redundant Freudian terminology you’ve ever heard. Define it, in your own terms, if you can.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with being openly proud of your achievements just as long as you acknowledge any supporting players.
There is nothing wrong with being proud as long as we don't rub it in others faces, that's when people start to get annoyed and wanna pull you down few notches...
What doesn't work to anyone's advantage is getting ahead of the situation and boasting about accomplishments that are yet to be reached.... There are way too many people who do that and fail to see it for what it is!
Yeah you make good points, it’s just there are people with tall poppy syndrome who can’t stand other people’s success and think any acknowledgement is “rubbing it their face” and “boasting”. I can’t stand them.

I’m putting your quote on a billboard, you have no idea how true this is. I had no idea until being in an environment with vipers. That’s when I realized the state of happiness amongst individuals is little to none, and you will be torn down in the process.
Humility can be a byproduct if you are group oriented and or have a mission that is than your ego.
So find yourself a purpose and a worn towards that with a fellow peer group.

Why do people (overwhelmingly in the US) write humility off as selling oneself short when in fact it could not be further from the truth!? Rhetorical question...”Humility isn’t thinking less of oneself; it is thinking of oneself less often!”
They are taught that america is the best country in the world, americans are the best people, americans are the strongest, the most powerful, the most democratic, they have the most freedom, they are the world leaders etc... Their culture and society is built on egotism so it's probably a difficult concept for them to grasp.

And the rest of the world laughs at this. It's sad though, because some of it is true.
The American definition of humble vs the English definition of humble is a tad different, as much as the definition of humility is.
HUMBLE in English:
* not proud or not believing that you are important:
* poor or of a low social rank:
* ordinary; not special or very important:
* to make someone understand that they are not as important or special as they thought
HUMBLE in American English:
* tending to consider yourself as having no special importance that makes you better than others; not proud:
* low in rank or position; poor:
* to make someone understand that they are not as important or special as they thought they were:
As for Humility.
You decide which belongs to English and American English
* the feeling or attitude that you have no special importance that makes you better than others; lack of pride:
* the quality of not being proud because you are aware of your bad qualities:
I live in a humble home.

I'll go with the following for the English translation:
"the quality of not being proud because you are aware of your bad qualities"
I chose this one because it terms it as a quality, rather than implying it's a defect.

so many people say ‘be humble’but how do you go about having this trait?
I’m not talking about false humbility but about those who have truly reached the highest of human potentials and walk in humility and wisdom.
How does one reach this phase?
What does being humble really mean?
The point is,
I guess,
that
after you're on top,
you can overestimate your capabilities,
sign some not so good contracts
etc.
and ruin (partially) your success.
life in general
and
human as special case
is
bipolar cyclic.
After the rain comes sun,
After the sun comes rain again.
how to be humble
if you have your heads always in the cloud
cause too much Jupiter ruling your chart?
I have no idea.
meditation?
list of failures on a piece of paper? or on the wall?

That’s true, it is cyclic, but I think in the initial stages, drive,ambition, achievement and success all need a necessary EGO as the ignition or catalyst,but yes after reaching your highest potential, being humble becomes way easier. Before reaching your potential, being humble doesn’t come so easy because you’re in the stages of proving yourself to society.
