By J.I. Packer
“Being humble is not a matter of pretending to be worthless, but is a form of realism, not only regarding the real badness of one’s sins and stupidities and the real depth of one’s dependence on God’s grace, but also regarding the real range of one’s abilities. Humble believers know what they can and cannot do. They note both their gifts and their limitations, and so are able to avoid both the unfaithfulness of letting their God-given powers lie fallow and the foolhardiness of biting off more than they can chew.” – J.I. Packer, A Passion for Faithfulness: Wisdom From the Book of Nehemiah Religion pretends, true believers are truly transparent.

“Being humble is not a matter of pretending to be worthless, but is a form of realism, not only regarding the real badness of one’s sins and stupidities and the real depth of one’s dependence on God’s grace, but also regarding the real range of one’s abilities.”
I agree with this statement. Being humble will help us find the right words and things to do for a better life. We will be able to improve the quality of our lives since it we will only speak the right word. Being humble can also give a peace of mind since we can see a thing from different sides.
