Humilityનમૂનો

4) Stop being nosy

Curiosity not only killed the cat, it killed many a friendship.

Again, we're talking balances here.

There is a big difference between showing interest in another person and being an annoying, persistent interrogator.

Accept what people share with you.

If you think you're starting to cross the line into being nosy...you probably have gone too far. Dial it back a bit.

5) Accept contradictions and corrections with a smile

There are going to be times when someone is going to disagree and try to correct you for something.

Whether they're right or wrong, it doesn't matter - and your response should always be the same.

First, don't take anything the other person says personally.

Accept the other person's opinion and give up any need you have to prove you're right.

When you do this, be sure to keep your non-verbal cues in check.

Accepting someone's opinion, but appearing emotionally overwhelmed with your arms folded and a scowl on your face won't help.

Smile, and accept the other person's opinion as just that...an opinion.

6) Ignore the mistakes of others

There's a saying I like that goes something like this, "People will always forget what you told them, but they will never forget how you made them feel."

Instead of throwing people's mistakes back in their faces, use these times as your opportunity to show your humility.

Something along the lines of, "That's OK, I used to make the same mistake all the time." will go a long way toward showing your true humility. It will set you apart as a leader too.
