Humility by Charles Pfeffer
What makes you so smart? In the ancient Greek tradition, the gods always showered blessings on those they intended to destroy. This caution was meant as a lesson for us humans who might think ourselves special for whatever accomplishments we might achieve.
Humility and confidence seem to live in a spectrum of human character that we have some ambivalence about. "Don't hide your light under a bushel," goes the old saying. Yet we penalize over confidence as well. The 'tall poppy' syndrome is the name the Australians have for the tendency to cut down those who rise above the crowd. Tall poppies get chopped down to size.
Where's the balance? As with most things, perhaps it's not an absolute, but rather a stance that one can take.
What do we have to be confident about?
What do we have to be humble about?
How do you know what you know? Does your knowledge give you confidence that you can deal with an uncertain future?
No one knows for sure what the future holds. Yet our experiences do provide us with patterns of learning that let us make reasonable predictions. We can have the confidence warranted by these experiences and still maintain the humility due to mortals who only guess that the future might look like the past.
The humble questions are:
'How do I know what I know?'
And 'what don't I know I don't know?'

We all know these people and when they pop into your life here is an approach you may want to consider... Read on mofo!
From the book-THE POWER OF FOCUS†by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, Les Hewitt
Please heed this important advice
Avoid Toxic People! Unfortunately, there are a few people out there who see the world as one big problem, and in their eyes you are part of it. You know the type. No matter how well things are going, they focus on the nitpicking little negative details. And they do it constantly; it’s a habit that totally destroys relationships. One blast of negative energy from their lips can erase that smile on your face permanently. These people are poisonous to your health. You need a long range antenna to keep them outside your boundaries at all times.
You may be thinking at this point, “Easier said than done. Do you mean if my friend, who I have known for years, Is always complaining about his job and how awful things are financially, and nobody wants him to help him out, that I should just turn and walk away when he talks like this?†No-run! As fast as you can. His constant negativity will drain the life out of you.
Now please understand, were not talking about someone who has a genuine challenge and needs real help. Were referring to those chronic whiners who take great pleasure in dumping all their negative garbage on your plate at every opportunity. They also inform you, with a not-so-subtle cynicism, that you can’t do this and you can’t do that, especially when you have a really good idea. They delight in bursting your positive bubble. It’s the highlight of their day. Don’t put up with it anymore
Here’s where the real power is: It’s always your choice. You can choose the type of people you want in your life. And you can choose to pursue new opportunities. Maybe you just need to make some better choices. It’s that simple. If it means letting a few people go, well, you get over it. In fact take a close look now at your present relationships. If someone is dragging you down all the time, make a decision. Let go and move on.
