This guide belongs to 100 Ways To Be Being Remarkable  Series, a special project that brings you business and self-development advice from The Success Manual. Stop thinking much about yourself. Humility sets you apart in the rat race, but then even rats are humble. Here are some of best things ever said about humility. Humility does not mean thinking less about yourself than of other people, nor does it mean a low opinion of your own gifts. It means freedom from thinking about yourself at all. - William Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury Most people see themselves as better than average. Nine in ten managers rate themselves superior to their average peer......excess humility is an uncommon flaw. - David G. Myers If I only had a little humility, I'd be perfect. - Ted Turner, Founder of CNN In reality there is perhaps no one of our natural Passions so hard to subdue as pride. Disguise it, struggle with it, beat it down, stifle it, mortify it as much as one pleases, it is still alive, and will every now and then peep out and show itself...For even if I could conceive that I had completely overcome it, I should probably be proud of my humility. - Benjamin Franklin The most effective leaders are humble and strong-willed rather than outgoing and full of ego. - Jim Collins “Good to Great” Be confident in your choices, but be humble if they work out. -Gabe Connor But by the grace of God I am what I am . . . . - CORINTHIANS 15:10 If you liked this article, please bookmark it on Delicious or share on Twitter.
