Friday Filosophy #2016-20

Every now and then a little humility is a good thing. Not the artificial, superficial kind, but the real heartfelt humility.  For our Friday Filosophy #2016-20 on a loose schedule, we are taking a look at humility.

 Humility is the true key to success. Successful people lose their way at times. They often embrace and overindulge from the fruits of success. Humility halts this arrogance and self-indulging trap. Humble people share the credit and wealth, remaining focused and hungry to continue the journey of success.
