Oh Lord, It's Hard To Be Humble!

"To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it."- Mother Theresa

We have to humble enough to understand, we don't know it all, and never will. Humility creates personal growth! We plant seeds of success by being grounded and rooted in humility. There is no real humility without success, and no real success without humility.

A fruitful crop is rarely the product of an unattended and overgrown garden. Treat your mind with the fertile input of the teachings of great men. As the computer programmers are fond of saying, "garbage in, garbage out!" You'll be surprised what flows out of your mouth when your head is full of good input!

It's a difficult lesson to learn that when you graduate school, your not done learning. Learning is a lifetime process. Those that find themselves married to false humility- not going after what they deserve, or not fulfilling their potential, going after the full use of all their talents-endure humiliation, the very apex of humility. So we can accept the fact we don't know it all, or have the embarrassment of being exposed as a poser. God works in mysterious ways, well not really!

God Bless!
Capt. Bill
