Peace of Wisdom

Humility

By Andy Andrews

If you became one of the richest people in the world, would you continue to live in the same house?

That’s exactly what Warren Buffet did – in fact, he’s still living in the same five bedroom house he bought more than a half century ago. 

It’s safe to assume he can afford better…so why did he stay? 

Look at it this way: your wealth may have changed, but have you?

Here’s a quick test you can perform on yourself to know for sure:

When you arrived at work this morning, did you take a few extra steps to pick up the litter somebody dropped right beside the trash can?

You probably did…

When you entered the building, did you hold the door open for the next person?  Did you do the same at the elevator?

I’m sure you did…  Good for you.  

Because its actions like those that reveal our character – and increase the impact we have on our fellow man.

Today’s Peace of Wisdom can be found in the acts that demonstrate humility.
