I was so awkward writing about Humility. Humility, it's totally an opposite to my life (where my pride is my priority). So, why still I continue with this? Yes, I've start working since last Wednesday, means that I've make some new friends, my colleagues. Lets talk about my manager, despite his powerful position in the house, he was still a man of great humility :) Well, he's the one who'd inspired me, and change me perhaps.
Then, I decided to google something about humility. Hey, I was actually looking for something like, whats make these people so humble, or how to be like them. But I found something else, this one;
“Prayer of an Anonymous Abbess:
Lord, thou knowest better than myself that I am growing older and will soon be old. Keep me from becoming too talkative, and especially from the unfortunate habit of thinking that I must say something on every subject and at every opportunity.
Release me from the idea that I must straighten out other peoples' affairs. With my immense treasure of experience and wisdom, it seems a pity not to let everybody partake of it. But thou knowest, Lord, that in the end I will need a few friends.
Keep me from the recital of endless details; give me wings to get to the point.
Grant me the patience to listen to the complaints of others; help me to endure them with charity. But seal my lips on my own aches and pains -- they increase with the increasing years and my inclination to recount them is also increasing.
I will not ask thee for improved memory, only for a little more humility and less self-assurance when my own memory doesn't agree with that of others. Teach me the glorious lesson that occasionally I may be wrong.
Keep me reasonably gentle. I do not have the ambition to become a saint -- it is so hard to live with some of them -- but a harsh old person is one of the devil's masterpieces.
Make me sympathetic without being sentimental, helpful but not bossy. Let me discover merits where I had not expected them, and talents in people whom I had not thought to possess any. And, Lord, give me the grace to tell them so.
Amen”
Amiinn
"For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted"
