Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?
Proverbs 20:6
I am listening to the audio version of “How to Win Friends and Influence People.” Over and over, Dale Carnagie emphasizes that we need to praise others instead of our own. Also remember that humility is not thinking less of yourself, it is thinking of yourself less (I believe this came from C.S. Lewis).
