Too many people believe that in order to be humble they must put themselves down, see themselves as worse than everyone else. They minimize their gifts and maximize their shortcomings.
Humility come from the word humus , earth.
Humble people are down to earth. They are honest in evaluating their strengths and their weaknesses. The humble recognize and rejoice in their particular gifts. They see them, develop and share them, and give the credit to God, the Giver of all good gifts. Humble people also admit and take responsibility for their particular weaknesses.
