This chapter tells us the meaning of humility. It
tells us that humility is not to think less of ourselves but to think ourselves
less. In this chapter, the importance of humility is depicted. It informs us
that humility has to be present in an individual.
If a person has
lost their humility and does not respect anyone else lesser than their
status, then that person would not be great and will not be
considered a genuinely good person. This chapter also depicts how humility
becomes the first virtue and how it makes successful people great. It shows
this through various examples of many well-known and flourishing people who
remained humble, even after becoming what they are, simply achieving greatness
and charm in the people’s hearts, which makes their success even
more fruitful.
As shown in the
chapter, some simple actions, like greeting workers at different public places with their names,
making our juniors comfortable with us and making someone’s tiny wishes or
dreams come true, can help us learn the vitality of humility, that also brings
joy to those people. The way I see things, the chapter would help many kids like
me understand why we should do these kinds of simple actions suggested to us by
our parents and why they’re essential. I also observed that this chapter has
shown many real-life examples and what happens when we do all this stuff for
real, which encourages us to enact them.
We should start early to emerge other virtues and help ourselves rise by laying this foundation of humility.
