About this Quote

John Jewel's quote is a tip that humbleness is an essential part of learning. Without humbleness, we can not find out anything. Humility is the ability to acknowledge our own constraints and to be open to gaining from others. It is the willingness to accept that we do not know whatever which we can gain from those who have more understanding and experience than us. Humbleness is also the ability to recognize our own strengths and weaknesses and to be open to constructive criticism. It is the capability to accept that we are not best which we can constantly enhance. Humbleness is necessary for learning due to the fact that it permits us to be open to new ideas and to be willing to take dangers. Without humbleness, we can not learn anything because we will be too happy to accept that we do not understand whatever.
