Humilty
In a culture that values self-promotion, humility is sometimes disregarded but is essential to both individual and interpersonal development. It is the unspoken acceptance of our shortcomings combined with appreciation to the traits of others. It's about being humble, not arrogant, and receptive to new information, not defensive. Being humble is about wisely evaluating one's place in the world, not about demeaning oneself. It enables us to create genuine connections, encourage empathy, and take a growth mindset to problems. Being humble makes us more open to feedback more eager to work with others, and more likely to enjoy other people's successes.
