Be humble; it costs nothing rather gives respect
In our school life we used to memorize various kinds of application like below-
Write an application for absenteeism
Write an application for reducing exam fees
Write an application for arranging a football match
I can give many more examples like above. In these applications we used to use many adjectives like-
I therefore pray and hope that......
You will be kind enough.........
Obliged thereby......
Beg most respectfully.....
Were above all adjectives mentioned only to write application? Or any other reasons?
To my understanding and opinion it taught us how to be humble to our respected persons. At that age we just memorize without getting the inner meaning. Or we were not taught that meaning!!
So, people will be humble to those who are respected! Now, the question is who are respected?
Very easy answer and difficult implementation is - respect people and be humble to others, you will get the same rewards.
So again, is it too difficult to be humble?
The answer is-
willingness, positive mindset and winning against ego problems.
About willingness and positive mindset, we know more or less. But here I will put emphasis on the term ‘ego problem.’
This is the killer of humble wishes. In our society we face below kind of ego problems when trying to be humble.
He is my junior, it doesn’t look good to be humble to him.
She is my wife, and I am superior, why I should be humble?
He is my student, why I should be humble to him?
He is poor, and I am rich, people will not take it easy if I am humble to him!
I am learned enough (bookish) and he is illiterate, it’s not possible to be humble to him.
Above are some examples but practically the scenario is worst.
Last but not the least, it doesn’t cost anything to be humble. Until and unless, the people of a nation be humble, that country can never prosper. This is not my world only, history teaches us that.
Thanks for reading.
we like to keep some word inside of paper. Humble is one of them. We read out it every year ( in class of reading room) but never implement in our daily life. Thanks a lot..........for fantastic subject.
Correctly said but we need to implement. Otherwise as a nation we will not be able to prosper. Thanks for your comments.
As people, all of us should be polite. But in the society, this teaching does not seem to work very well right now. There are many unexplained incidents in front of the eyes.
You are correct. To me it should be started from individual level. Thanks for your comments.
Humble is as humble does, it has been said; but I say humble is the knowing we are insignificant beneath the stars, and yet we are here...
Thanks for your opinion.
Excellent opinion my friend @dindar
You are welcome. If we practice to be humble as individuals or as a nation, many unwanted problems will be solved.
