Humility Definition


Does anyone know the origins of the following definition?

“humility is being willing to accept that things may be other than the way you think they are."

So far I have only come across it as there is a definition of humility ... I'd love to credit the source correctly if I can find it

Thanks

Jen

Hi Jen,

Why not use the idea to re-phrase the definition of humility in your own way - you know like when you accept that things could be different to the way you think they are - and credit yourself?

Best wishes
Nina

An effective solution...but not a humble one ;-)
