HUMBLE...

From the Latin word HUMUS, which means "ground" or "earth." Ancient scriptures tell us that God took clumps of earth to make the first human beings.

The word HUMAN comes from HUMUS.
So does HUMANE.
And HUMILITY.
And HUMOR.

It is good to be HUMBLE.

Indeed, it is often a sign of true greatness.

The Jewish philosopher-theologian Martin Buber writes:

The history of mankind (is) a process involving two types of men,

  • the proud who, if sometimes in the sublimest form, think of themselves,
  • and the humble, who in all matters think of the world.

Only when price subjects itself to humility can it be redeemed.

Only if we are truly humble, truly grounded, can we be great.

It's a paradox. But it is the way to live.

We CAN do it!
