"The sharp knife of a short life

I've had just enough time..."


- "If I Die Young" The Band Perry


I see Beauty in many things. And like the ghosts that only speak to you if you notice them, they tell me wondrous tales. With my camera and my thoughts, I captured these as faithfully as I can to share with you. And by doing so, they gave me the reasons. And though the thousand reasons may not all be sweet and some indeed bitter; they are still reasons to live. Come to think about it, that is Life, isn't it?

The Charm of Humility.




I've had just the time to...   learn a little about humility.


Taken in Bali where I learned about the great charm of humility.



Humility does not mean thinking less of yourself than of other people, nor does it mean having a low opinion of your own gifts. It means freedom from thinking about yourself at all.
~ William Temple

Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.
 ~ John Wooden
_____

We come nearest to the great when we are great in humility.
~Rabindranath Tagore

_____


True humility that comes from the heart rather than mere gestures is not as apparent or as easy to achieve. Somtimes, it is even often misunderstood for something else.
