) Humility is a sign of true strength from "summary" of From Strength to Strength by John Henry Jowett
Humility is a rare quality in a world that often values pride and self-promotion. It is often seen as a sign of weakness, something to be avoided at all costs. However, true strength lies in humility, in the ability to recognize our own limitations and weaknesses. As Jowett eloquently puts it, "humility is not a sign of weakness, but rather a sign of true strength."When we are humble, we are able to see ourselves as we truly are, without the distortions of pride and ego. We are able to acknowledge our mistakes and shortcomings, and to learn from them. This self-awareness is a powerful tool, enabling us to grow and develop as individuals. Humility also allows us to see the value in others, to recognize their strengths and contributions. It fosters a sense of empathy and compassion, enabling us to build strong relationships based on mutual respect and understanding. In a world that often equates strength with power and dominance, humility is a radical concept. It challenges us to reevaluate our understanding of strength, to recognize that true strength lies not in the ability to dominate others, but in the ability to uplift and support them. By embracing humility, we open ourselves up to new possibilities and opportunities. We become more receptive to feedback and more willing to learn from others. We become better leaders, better friends, better human beings.- "humility is not a sign of weakness, but rather a sign of true strength." It is a quality that requires courage and conviction, a willingness to go against the grain and to challenge prevailing norms. But in the end, it is a quality that will ultimately lead us to greater fulfillment and success.
