Hugh on humility

From Hugh Hewitt's book, In But Not Of, good advice for someone who has tumbled from his or her position:

"Speak only good things about the people who bounced you. There is no upside in bitterness . . ."

It's not the end of your dreams since you can choose to become better for it. But it may be rougher on you to develop humility after it's been forced on you, so develop a humble attitude before the tumble.

"Humility on the front end is easier than after a big bounce.  Getting and keeping humility depend upon two things:  genuine appreciation of the talents of others . . and Christ's message of radical equality [of worth]."
