Teaching
Humility keeps a person close to reality by making correction easier to receive.
Meaning
Without humility, success often turns into blindness. You stop noticing excess, harshness, and drift. Humility keeps the inner mirror clean.
Practical Application
Ask one trusted person where pride or rigidity is making you harder to live or work with. Listen fully before explaining yourself.
