Humble Vs Arrogance HabitZ

Humble Vs Arrogance 😎🙄

,

Introduction

Arrogance means thinking too highly of oneself, often looking down on others and refusing to listen or learn. It can make people feel unimportant and create distance in relationships.

Humility, on the other hand, means valuing others’ contributions and being open to learning, no matter how much you know.

Help Sanjay at School

In school, Sanjay was very good at math, and he knew it. Whenever his classmates struggled with a problem, he would boast, “I can solve that in my sleep!”

Instead of helping them, he would brag about how easy it was for him. One day, during a math quiz, Sanjay made a careless mistake and got a lower grade than his friends. Shocked, he realized that he wasn’t as perfect as he thought.

The teacher explained,

“Arrogance makes you blind to your own weaknesses. It’s important to stay humble and help others, no matter how good you are at something.”

Sanjay learned his lesson and started helping his classmates without showing off.

Help Aditi at Home

At home, Aditi would always talk about how she was the best at everything—be it cooking, playing games, or solving puzzles. Her family noticed that her constant boasting made her siblings feel inferior.

One day, her father said,

“Aditi, confidence is good, but arrogance hurts those around you. True greatness is being humble and using your skills to help others.”

Aditi realized that her arrogance was creating distance between her and her family, and she started being more modest and encouraging.

Reference from Panchatantra Stories

In the Panchatantra, there’s a story of a proud lion who thought no one could defeat him. One day, a tiny mouse tricked the lion and saved its life by chewing through a hunter’s net. The lion learned that even the smallest creatures have value, and being arrogant can blind you to others’ strengths.

“The arrogant man’s pride may rise high, but it will eventually bring him down.”
— Thirukural 971

  1. Stay Humble: No matter how skilled or knowledgeable you are, always remember that there’s more to learn.
  2. Help Others Without Boasting: Use your abilities to support others without making them feel lesser.
  3. Listen to Feedback: Arrogance makes you ignore others’ advice, but accepting feedback helps you grow.
