About This Quote
A person who is humble realizes that he or she is not perfect and therefore should not act like they are. They don’t try to put on airs, to impress others, or to make themselves feel better. They also realize that their successes and failures aren’t necessarily the result of their own efforts. For many people, the desire to be perfect is greater than the desire to do their best.
When they achieve success, they will shrug it off and say someone else made them do it. The truth is that they would have achieved success in any event because they were willing to work hard and push themselves beyond the pain and suffering that comes with striving for perfection.
