Great! Inspiring Quotes
"Ability with humility"
I think about this quote a lot. For one - I think to myself that I might not be humble, if I believe that I can write something on this website that others will care about or should potentially know. Am I humble? or Am I arrogant to presume someone could learn from something that I have shared? Then, I think to myself that I have likely learned nearly everything I know from someone else and so on, so in short, I am just sharing what others have taught me or what has resonated with me.
Overall - “The way you treat others who can do "nothing" for you says everything about you”
