Having a low opinion of yourself is not 'modesty.' It's self-destruction. Holding your uniqueness in high regard is not 'egotism.' It's a necessary precondition to happiness and success.

About This Quote

Being humble is a virtue. It is important to recognize your strengths and weaknesses, and to accept yourself for who you are. People should never have an inferiority complex. We should always be looking to improve ourselves and work towards our greatest potentials.

In order to do this, we must recognize our own strengths and weaknesses. What makes one person successful when another fails? What made someone love one another when they couldn't stand to be in the same room with each other? Why did good things happen when bad times followed? The answers to these questions are the answers to why the world is a better place than it would have been if everyone was a pessimist. The truth is that we all have something unique about us.

We all have something that nobody else has, and we all have something that somebody else has, too. In case you haven't noticed, what makes someone good at school doesn't make them good at life . In fact, it's quite the opposite! To be successful in life, we need to learn from others who are good at school but not at life .
