Why Is Humility So Under-Rated?

Many a times we come across people who keep an upturned nose, a snotty attitude bragging about their mediocre achievements. Why is it that we buy their self proclaimed greatness and fool ourselves into believing that they might be just all that?

It is most disturbing to see more and more mediocrity being celebrated as genius. Half hearted efforts are all marketed too well, bragged on for centuries knowing no end and are raised up to undeserved pedestal. Are we all lowering our standards and falsely believing that such over rated average standards are praiseworthy?
If there is anything what one finds lacking in today’s time and age is modesty and humility. No role model of a male or female flaunted across our TV channels portray this trait as appreciable. Whatever happened to the story of the humble tree that bowed all so low for the abundant fruit it bore?
Why is it that we all have to toot our horn for our mediocre achievements to have our presence felt or get noticed? You cannot miss a thing of beauty or a skilled piece of work. However, it is extremely pleasant to come across a humble character that takes you by surprise when their abilities shine on their own, needless of any shallow superfluous announcements.
Do you think it is important to keep a high and mighty stance to have your presence felt or it is just a cheap shot from those who don’t have anything to back them up? What are your opinions on being humble? Do you think one needs to carry an attitude to be feared or admired or it’s just a turn off?
