“Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods.” ~ Albert Einstein
This word has so many meanings. Humility is the quality of being modest, and respectful. Humility, in various interpretations, is widely seen as a virtue and a moral. Humility has religious meaning. Humility in many religious and philosophical traditions, being connected with notions of transcendent unity with the universe or one’s divine.

Humility in god’s eyes; to seek God, and His truths, we must become humble. Without humility God will not open the door, and our seeking will be in vain. "And whoso knocketh, to him will he open; and the wise, and the learned, and they that are rich, who are puffed up because of their learning, and their wisdom, and their riches yea, they are they whom he despiseth; and save they shall cast these things away, and consider themselves fools before God, and come down in the depths of humility, he will not open unto them" (2 Nephi 9:42).

I think for one person to understand and to be truly humble person that person must understand honesty. One must understand that one cannot be always right. One must understand defeat. One must respect himself and others to be a humble person. With an understanding of humility one can overcome his weaknesses and become this strengths.
