Throughout my life time, I have received many tips and lessons whose purpose was to set me in the right direction, that’s why choosing one is really tough. If I were to choose one, it would likely be from the two people who have been the most influential in my life, my parents. Though it may seem cheesy, they have taught me the most valuable things. One lesson that I learned through them is humility. Realistically, I am far from the most humble people around, although the lesson I learnt surrounding humility, is a lesson that will stick with me for life. Humility is an awfully hard attribute to characterize, it’s not something you have or you don’t. Humility has varying degrees and is different for everybody, depending on culture, social status, religion etc. In my case, humility meant showing graciousness and sportsmanship through any outcome. Often I attribute humility to sports. Whenever I would win something, I would feel on top of the world, claiming that I was the best, but my parents seem to always ground me. This lesson kept me from being too cocky, and gave me perspective on many different circumstances. Being humble has served me very well, as it reflects very appropriately to one’s personality. Though, it may be a fairly obscure lesson learnt, it is something that will keep with me for the rest of my time!
