to talk little,
to hear much,
to reflect alone upon what has passed in company,
to distrust one’s own opinions,
and value others that deserve it.

the opportunity to spread their wings and
put compensation as a carrier behind it,

thinking less of yourself than of other people,
nor does it mean having a low opinion of your own gifts.
It means freedom from thinking about yourself at all.

but it is my chief duty to accomplish humble tasks
as though they were great and noble.
The world is moved along, not only by the
mighty shoves of its heroes, but also
by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker.
* Helen Keller
