When mistakes are made and judgment blows in as suddenly as a north wind, there is a tendency to assign blame in all directions. Those who lack humility immediately raise their shields, thereby obscuring the truth from their own eyes. The weak take offense, and shrink away in doubt and self-pity. But the sincere and humble see the situation as a challenge to be met head-on—first by examining themselves inwardly to identify their role in creating the current situation, and then by having the courage to act forcefully—but fairly—to correct mistakes and clear the air.

Humility is the true mark of nobility and always bodes good fortune.
