Humility

The first step to wisdom is humility.


thoughts?

 

It's defiantly right up there in importance.

 

Most Americans think it's *humiliation*

 

Maybe not the 1st -- but in the top 5

 

True that. Assholes who think they are always right rarely learn anything new because they think they already know everything.

 

I don't think that "the quality of having a modest or low view of one's importance."
I'd rather place Receptiveness :-
1. Having the quality of receiving, taking in, or admitting.
2. Able or quick to receive knowledge, ideas, etc.: a receptive mind.
3. Willing or inclined to receive suggestions, offers, etc., with favor: a receptive listener.
4. Pertaining to reception or receptors: a receptive end organ.
5. (In language learning) of or pertaining to the language skills of listening and reading (opposed to productive ).

Higher on my list

 

i would never think to practice humility . wisdom precedes it ? it
seems at certain times wise to dumpster-dive .

 

pride and humility are the same vanity

 

true humility is egoless

 

I can see false humility as being a vanity, even altruism but I think there can be degrees of humility that can be pure and honest.

Humility and Compassion. The rest is distraction.

 

true anything is not an under performer

 

Humiliation seems to belong to the immature
