I think humility is not a very popular quality these days. Being humble for some reason for many people means being a loser. In the modern society it is expected to be cool and confident and humility is somehow understood to be the opposite of these qualities.

In my life I had many opportunities to learn and practice humility. Humility kept me in line and on my best behavior, made me a good listener and strengthened my patience.

My views on humility have changed or rather deepened when I discovered the essence of it. I have understood that humility helps me to gain knowledge, to accept knowledge easily. Humble attitude opens me up to receiving what someone else has to say and removes any doubts that I might have had.

Humility helps the knowledge flow. Humble person is able to accept 100% of the knowledge presented to him. That means humility works for us. When we want to learn something all we have to do is to be humble to learn faster and easier. It is in our own interest to have this quality and use it as needed.
