The Futility of Humility

Too Long; Didn't Read

<a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/humility" target="_blank">Humility</a> is often admired as a virtue. However most often what we see is “false humility” and not humility. I will argue here that humility is an attribute best not pursued or even admired. Instead the quest is to identify some other attributes that lead to treating others as a humble person would. With the additional benefit that these other attributes are more sustainable, achievable, and have a number of other benefits. I will propose two such attributes that when pursued produce humility-like effects as a by product. Very similar to how an entrepreneur creates wealth as a by product of creating value — not by pursuing wealth itself.
