Humility



"Humility is royalty without a crown"
-Spencer W. Kimball



Spencer W. Kimball - Humility is teachableness-an ability to realize that all virtues and abilities are not concentrated in one's self. . . .
Humility is never accusing nor contentious. . . .
Humility is repentant and seeks not to justify its follies. It is forgiving others in the realization that there may be errors of the same kind or worse chalked up against itself. . . .
Humility makes no bid for popularity and notoriety; demands no honors. . . .
It is not self-abasement-the hiding in the corner, the devaluation of everything one does or thinks or says; but it is the doing of one's best in every case and leaving of one's acts, expressions, and accomplishments to largely speak for themselves. ("Humility," Brigham Young University Speeches of the Year, Provo, Utah, 16 Jan. 1963) TLDP:292; DCSM:27

  1. If you're humble a million doors are open for you. Being humble is being kind and thoughtful and down to earth. Being humble means, being simple and knowing the right from wrong. For example, if you really want some expensive clothes but you now your parents can't really afford it, it's up to you weather you throw a fuzz about not ever getting what you want; or considering it and accepting it. When you're humble you're more open minded and i think thats a quality everyone should have.

  3. What this word also mean is doing something which in this case teach others doing something goodness of your heart not for yourself. Having humility is part of c.t.r because your capable of not only having a good heart to help other but also making you look good and acknowledging the good in others, and not only you teaching them but you are also willing to learn and see what is right from others. having humility you would also realize that all your virtues and abilities are not concentrated in one's self, and faith as well.

  4. its not a good feeling being humility. it may suck but you learn from it. you learn from that mistake you did with the help from others. humility is teachable in the way that you learn from it. learn from your mistakes and be willing to learn new things.

  5. Being humble is very good to be. Humility allows you to see the good in others even when they are bad. Humility gives you and others the chance to know each other and not judge before you do. Humility also gives you more chances at things like getting a job or simply making new friends because others see that you will be considerate of them and not just about yourself. Humility is always a good thing to have when it comes to others and yourself. Choose the Right.. =)

  6. I don't really understand what this quote is saying. What I think it is saying is that humility will help you learn from others. So if you are humble, then you will recognize what other people do and you will see the good and the bad. Humility will help you learn many things. For example, if you are having trouble with something like HW. Your friend might help you.

  9. I agree with this statement. The people that are humble and are willing to learn are the one that succeed. You do not need to be royalty to be treated good. To have others to teach you. If your willing to be teachable you will get it.

  10. You are suppose to learn how to get help from others, when others help you, you get a different perspective of how you can work things out. Humility is when you learn from others without it you can not be the person you are today or the person you will get to be in the future.
    Choosing the Right,<3
    and getting help from others
    is a very good thing:D

  14. I think this is a good quote. Always be humble even if your the best at what you do. You can always learn from someone else. For example if your the best soccer player in the world, be humble about it because before being good at the sport you had to learn from others.

  17. Being humble while being at the best at what you do is the best choice you could make. Instead of thinking you don't need anybody's help always be ready to learn more to be better. And maybe even help someone that doesn't know much, know more from you. So keep your mind open to new and better things even if your good at it already. :)

  19. I think that being a humility person teaches others hoe to be a good humble person as well. For example if you are in 10th grace and a 7th grader is teaching you, you have to accept it. I'm not quite sure of this quote now that I think of it. If you concentrate on yourself, you are being selfish.

  23. Humility is a part of life. I believe everyone goes through it. It's not easy to avoid. I believe everyone does mistakes and thats part of life. You learn form your mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes, no one is perfect. So just learn form them.

  24. people can choose to use humility or they can't. but most people that have humility choose the right and walk off becoming academic champions.but the choose not to have use or do anything with humility than they are the ones who are gonna fail and try to put others down by not choosing the right because they choose the wrong and they chose not to show their humility. so basicly to me this quote is say if you show humility its like your a king with no crown. a man who dosent rule over others!!!!=)

  25. Being humble will get you to be appreciated. When a person shows humility, then they are showing the best of their personality. Being humble makes you realize and know what is good in others as well. I believe you can learn more as well because you are not being naive about learning new things.

  26. When you become humble you able to learn from other you become teachable. If you are stubborn and arrogant you will stay at the same place because you wont wanna learn anything anymore because you think you know it all. In fact no one knows everything. No one should not be arrogant they should be humble and learn from one another. Humility is a very positive thing. Choose the right.

  27. humility is something most people are afraid of because whatever they do other people will make fun of them to make them feel bad. humility is mostly around peoples high school years. that is the time when it is usually the worst.

  28. I agree because never tell someone that they can't do it, because that's how you put a person to go down and not even try. Also becuase you don't know how much each and very person is smart, because everyone is smart and talented! Everyone can do it but some people act like if they can because they want to be lazy but deep inside they know they could do it. It's just that they don't try, but if they do they will be a great and talented person and very proud of themselfs. Knowing that they did it when they thought they could'nt. You could do it! Choose the right!

  30. this quote means you have to appreciate stuff in life like what your parents can afford to give you . for example if you really feel in love with a dress at a store but you know you ant afford so you know you cant by it. its better off knowing you cant buy instead of being cranky about it.

  33. Humility. We must be Humble. Recognize and remember your root and where we came from.We must learn from others humility. For example a celebrity, most of them weren't always wealthy and famous. Some came from very low resources and have become very successful. Some were born in a crib of gold. Still the some behave humble even if they have had everything in their palms of their hand,and some that came from the nothing act very selfish because they the fame goes up to their heads, and that wrong. We must always be humble.

  35. I think that humility is being modest and respectful towards other people. You should always be humble towards your friends by respecting them and listen to what they have to say. It doesn't hurt to learn new things from someone else even though you already know that stuff. For example, if you are the best at math, you should be humble about it because you had to learn it from others.

  37. When your humble it means to view other before yourself. You always try to help other and do what you can to be there for them. You think of other before of yourself. Its a good thing to be humble. You get respect of people and you will be liked by many. People like when you help. Humility helps you become a better person and gets you farther.

  39. Humility or humbleness is a quality of being courteously respectful of others. It's the quality that lets us go more than halfway to meet the needs and demands of others. Humility means putting God and other persons ahead of our own selfish interests. So be a humble person. A thoughtful and kind and good person is a humble person. Humble people are successful in life. Rather than, "Me first," humility allows us to say, "No, you first, my friend." You have a lot of people around you to help you and that very good, very humility. You can start being a humble person by choosing the right. Humility comes within you, everyone has it, but its on you if you want to use it. Being a king without a crown and slaves is having humility. CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

  40. Humility is being to able to learn from others, i think we should all learn from each other because when you work together you learn more and when you learn more you'll be more successful. We must appreciate in life and be thankful for everything we learn and do. We also must be humble, when being humble you get to acknowledge more and do more. So keep that humility up

  43. I agree with this quote because you dont need a crown to be humble. Having humility is appreciating what you have and not ask for more. Also to have humility means to treat others the way you want to be treated and not to judge them. If you are humble people will respect you and you will have a successful life...

  44. i think the quote is true because humiliation is not good, but lets you realize what you are doing wrong. but constant humiliation can be emotionally harmful to the humiliated because then they cant get overa simple mistake. With appreciation a person can accept the truth and improve on it.
