Humility is an act of being tender and soft towards others. It is an act of being humble in heart. An humble person bends easily without argument or being arrogant.
One of the signs of Humility is that it submits. An humble person submits to elders and leaders for learning and corrections.
One of the difficult things for a proud man is yielding to corrections, but a man with humility bends softly to learn.
Jesus Christ the son of God who came to the world to die for us sinners is the perfect example of Humility. Jesus Christ being the greatest teacher, He knows more than anyone on earth for He is the son of God, the second person in Trinity. Jesus Christ when young would find His way to the synagogue to learn the law, that He knows the Origin. He being God submitted under men to learn. What a perfect example of Humility.
In this our generation, the rich and great men, even those who have nothing do not see any reason to learn, they thought they have known it all. The truth is, nobody knows it all, and learning ends nowhere. The moment you feel you don't need to learn again, that moment, your wisdom have left you.
So, unlike Pride, Humility submits reverently to learn from others, both young and old, humility obeys without any sense of arrogance. Therefore, if you check your life and realize you find it difficult to submit to learn, you need a slide into the pool of humility.
