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?
