"These are the few ways we can practice humility:
To speak as little as possible about one's self.
To mind one's own business.
Not to want to manage other people's affairs.
To avoid curiosity.
To accept contradictions and corrections cheerfully.
To pass over the mistakes of others.
To accept insult and injuries.
To accept being slighted, forgotten and disliked.
To be kind and gentle under provocation.
Never to stand on one's dignity.
To choose always the hardest."
Mother Teresa
