Humility

Being humble is often considered a good trait in people, it is the opposite of pride. Pride is a source of shame whenever your limits are tested. Humility on the other hand is knowing your limits and being comfortable with them, or striving to better yourself without the need for others approval. Humility suggests knowledge. Only fools are prideful, those with unwarranted pride are easily manipulated because they feel a need to protect their overly inflated egos. Those that are humble do not feel a need to show off or prove their worth to other people. They know their own personal worth, and it is logical not over inflated or irrational. Humility can be a good quality that employers look for as well, they will get their job done and not feel like they should receive awards or praise. They will want to good on their work to live up to their own standards, not any other person's. Humility is overall just more enjoyable to be around as well, if some one is all proud and constantly feels the need to brag and justify themselves, it can get annoying rather fast. Humble people are fun to be around because they can just talk without always steering the conversation back to their own exploits. So overall humility is pretty good.
