Acceptance of oneself is contentment....not humility perhaps you can supply that scope by explaining why acceptance of oneself is humility and why it's not being content with onself You are obviously struggling with great difficulty to explain something you do not understand. You are not wiser, more intelligent, or better educated than all the people here who are trying to explain humility to you. To understand it, you must have it. once upon a time the majority of people was trying to explain how the world was flat to the one that claim that it was round Ineffectual dodge. Please read post again. I'm being humble and trying to allow you to explain what humility is using your own thoughts... if you can... You are not, in any way, being humble. Far from it in fact. Humility is a concept dealing with the learned value of your fellow human beings and the knowledge that you are not superior to them ... a concept you apparently struggle with daily. Your comparison with the world being flat is inaccurate. A better comparison would be you as a landlubber explaining the art of sailing to a bunch of sailors. You simply can't find the words and don't understand the concept so you substitute subservience or variations thereof in an attempt to sound knowledgeable and superior, which of course proves the opposite. |

Humility is a concept dealing with the learned value of your fellow human beings and the knowledge that you are not superior to them ... a concept you apparently struggle with daily. the others were claiming that humility was self-acceptance....your definition points to servitude So far, by far, yours is the only concept of servitude I've seen presented here. Knowing the value of others is also knowing the value of self. Knowing the value of self is a major part of self-acceptance. Servitude has NOTHING to do with the concept no matter how hard you try to force it. One can be servile and humble but one can be humble without being subservient. Your lack of understanding is showing. |

Your lack of understanding is showing. generally people conmment on the lack of understanding and intelligence of others because they lack it theirself ...it's a sign of insecurity, it's a way to keep others from calling them stupid when they say/type something stupid but anyway ...knowing the values of others do not make one humble...it makes them knowledgeable... |

50 Ways to Show humility....
Use the response “It’s My Pleasure” when someone thanks you for doing something. Use the response “I’d be honored” when someone asks you to help them or do something with them. Listen more than you talk Count to 3 before adding to a conversation to ensure the other person is done Be willing to follow another person in conversation even if you don’t get to talk about your idea Always offer to improve someone else’s idea and give them credit Give credit for other’s ideas that you are carrying through on Ask others for the opinion of others Ask others to join conversations and contribute It’s OK to be wrong and so admit it Admit when you don’t understand or know something Appreciate others who learn something quickly and say so Be quick to apologize when you do something wrong Study moral principles Use moral principles to guide you Understand you were created by something greater than yourself Recognize your talents as gifts, not your own ability Know how your skills have only been developed by the help of others Share your own knowledge to pass on what you have learned Pass on thanks when you receive it to those who helped you achieve what you were thanked for doing Value other people’s time as much as your own Never equate time spent with people to a dollar value Don’t boast about your achievements, let others recognize them instead Keep your goals to yourself Help other people with their goals Realize the potential in others Know that timing is everything and everyone excels at different times in life Being the 1st follower is often the best way to lead Since winning isn’t everything, you don’t have to win Recognize that you have faults Remember you are you are no better or worse than anyone else Ignore first impressions of people Give others the benefit of the doubt Provide positive and encouraging feedback instead of criticism Make a choice to act more humbly Practice at least one humble act each day Be grateful for successes without boasting about them Know how to accept praise with a simple thank you, don’t elaborate on it or talk more about it Recognize the individualism of others and yourself, there is no need to conform Share your core values and live them accordingly regardless of the circumstances Prioritize things in your life and rate your actions on whether to followed that priority or not Rate other people as first, be less significant Forgive those who wrong you and move on without revenge or lashing back Serve others and not yourself first Seek wisdom, which is knowledge of what is true coupled with just judgment of action Recognize and know that you know little and there is always more to learn Avoid explosive reactions, subside aggression Accept new ideas and change, not being stuck on what you knew before Teach all that you can for the benefit of others Learn from and model the life of the most humble teachers in history

Humility is the state of being humble. A humble person is generally thought to be unpretentious and modest: someone who does not think that he or she is better or more important than others Humility is a state like Rhode Island! |

Humility has its place and is very useful when the situation requires it.
Forthright dominance is pretty useful too when properly applied. |
