Humility – I was taught to have grace and understanding for others in situations where your initial reaction is they don’t deserve that chance… You never know what someone is going through. Your moment of consideration may be what they need to feel better about themselves, offer an apology, and resolve any misunderstandings. Another lesson I learned involving humility was from my grandfather. He taught me to always assist someone that’s trying to help themselves. Struggle builds character, but so does cooperation and assistance. You can decide which character you help develop. Remember, sometimes asking for help is the hardest thing someone can do. If you see them needing assistance, offer it. Be a good person
