Humility

Another important lesson that I have learnt in my life, is humility. This lesson has come from none other than my younger sister.

We always have something to learn from everyone. Including people who are younger than us. After all it was not in their hands that they were born after us :)

So anyway, humility. I think no matter how successful a person becomes, if he/she is not humble, it will eventually lead to their fall.

My younger sister was one of the top students of her class, as well as the vice president of the college student union. But she never let success get to her head. She was always humble and continued to work hard. She continued to study hard to maintain her grades as well as worked hard for the Union.

She could have easily used the excuse and let her grades drop, but she did not. She could have missed class and taken free attendance, but she did not. She could have acted like she is the best in the world, but.... she did not. And I really look up to her for that. Her teachers too really appreciated her for that.

Sometimes in life, it's a good thing to look at people younger/lower in post than you. After all the best ideas sometimes can come from the most unexpected quarters.
