Humility

Humility means to be able to learn when one is wrong and to be able to stand one’s ground when one is right.

Humility does not mean being a people-pleaser or a servant.

Humility creates a system of checks and balances therefore humility is a valuable human character for progress and improvement.

“Humility enables learning while it allows knowing.”

When we remain humble, we keep ourselves open to learning and gaining new knowledge while we also remain open to supporting our knowledge against nonsense and falsehood. Humility is best achieved through self-confidence which itself is the result of seeing reality as is and not as we would like it to be. Factual-thinking is key to self-confidence and humility.
