“Humility is probably
the most difficult virtue to realize.”


Thomas Yellowtail, CROW


Two definitions of humility are: one, being
aware of one’s own defects of character,
and two, giving credit where credit is due.


This means if you do something and are
successful because God gave you certain
talents, give credit to God when someone
tells you how well you did;
this is being humble.


If you are successful at something,
but had help from friends, spouse,
neighbors, give credit to
those who helped you;
this is being humble.


If you have done a task
and you alone accomplished
it, give credit to yourself;
this is being humble.


Say the truth and
give credit where credit is due.


Grandfather, let me
walk a truthful road today.
