You see, humility leads to success and inclusion whereas pride’s number one concern is to look for number one, thus, instead of being successfully inclusive it becomes exceptionally exclusive. And that is not a recipe for success.
Or I love the story of the late, great Christian humanitarian Albert Schweitzer. Albert Schweitzer spoke to a graduating class of an English boys’ school back in 1935. He said: “I do not know what your destiny will be. Some of you will perhaps occupy remarkable positions. Perhaps some of you will become famous by your pens, or as artists. But I know one thing: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve.”
And Schweitzer lived those words. In fact, at his forest hospital in Africa, he found himself hauling lumber about, and doing the work of a day-laborer as well as a physician.
