Intellectual humility

Humility is a great quality

Is to accept someone, a junior,

Is superior in knowledge to you.

You can be humble to the authority.

You can be humble to the well wishers.

To be humble in knowledge to the one

Considered low to you makes you great.

Dr. S. Radhakrishnan has displayed it.

Mahatma Gandhi has displayed it.

Many great personalities have shown it.

Own mistakes when pointed out to you.

Knowledge is arrogant; wisdom is humble.

‘I’ve got nothing of my own; all my ideas

Are improvements upon earlier ideas’

Said Issac Newton, the great inventor.
