Humility: The Key to Greatness

Humility as defined by Oxford Advanced Learner Dictionary is the quality of not thinking you are better than other people. Most times when
we find ourselves in a place filled with people, we tend to look at them as if they amount to nothing and pride fall on us which makes us feel arrogant and exclude or tag ourselves as being the best. This is found almost everywhere.
  Oftentimes, we come across people with the same level of skills and intelligence as ours or even people with intelligence lower to ours. Irrespective of the kind of person or people you come across, humility is the key to your greatness. Do not get jealous neither envy them. Just be humble enough to appreciate people around you.
  Never think that by any chance you are far better than someone else because this create room for harbouring arrogance in your life. The scripture made it know in Proverbs that A man's pride will bring him low but he who is lowly(humble) in spirit will obtain honour. Prov. 29:23. Do you think of obtaining honour? Humility is the key. The Scripture also asserts it that "Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, let not the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches; but let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD" Jer. 9:23-24.
  Whatsoever you might have, never feel arrogant. If you are in school and someone is not, never think you are by any chance better. If you have something today, never think you are much more better than someone who does not. Life is meant to live with humble heart. Appreciate God for the things you have but never feel arrogant about those things.
  Humility is the key to unending greatness and increase!!!
