Be humble, Be yourself

Most fundamental trait which makes a good learner is humility.  And learning is a lifelong process. Day you stop being humble enough to receive, that day your influx of wisdom and knowledge slows down.   Probably, this is the reason in ancient times, Indian gurukuls made even princes beg for alms to learn humility.    If you are too full of yourself, there is no space for new knowledge or wisdom to enter.  Sometimes, I feel we were born humble, we acquire pride on the way, but life in itself manages to give you a lesson in humility. As C.S. Lewis said, “Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it’s thinking of yourself less.”
