Greatest lesson learned from someone else

Throughout my life my father has always been an inspiration as he epitomized humility and other traits that made him into the great man he is today. He never had to directly teach me about certain life lessons because the way he lived his life was a lesson for me. Living with him and experiencing his profound insight and wisdom taught me about the importance of humility. This was most apparent as he provided me with a quote one morning, “You know more than you think you know, just as you know less than you want to know”. This struck me as extremely profound and was lived out through multiple experience. One that clearly stands out to me was when my dad was providing speech as a keynote speaker at my church and was given a standing ovation for his knowledge. When I asked him about him later he told me that he was not proud of himself but proud of the experience he was able to give those around him. His ability to be selfless and provide such regard towards the audience is what inspires me to be the humble student I am today and the business profession I aspire to be.
