Humility

Agreeing with Grace, the school focuses on the character traits such as self-control, grit and empathy. Perhaps, the school thought that the students have modesty and humor with no doubt. Students find laughter from school with their friends and they try to behave modest to approach to their friends in a better way. Not only modesty and humor but, I also think the students should find character traits such as warmth (the ability to approach people in a warm behavior), honesty, responsibility, open, generous and etc. I learned that we have to be open to new experiences that we're going to face and we have to be generous to other people. Also, we have to be honest to each other in order to be trustworthy. As John Hammond has said, these characters are the real foundation of all worthwhile success. One of the character traits that I personally think we're missing is "kindness". I think it's important for us to use our strength to treat each other with kindness. I also think it's important for us to keep these character traits in mind and practice these actions.

I also agree with you. Humility is definetly needed and it is one of the most important personal character trait in out life I think. It is impossible to put every important character traits in our school's character trait but since we are attending international school, I believe humility should be included in our school's character trait for many reasons.

I also think humility can be important but I think confidence is also important. If I had to choose between two, it would be confidence. I can't remember if we had confidence as one of our character traits so I can't say it's the one we're missing. I like that you said humor. I also learned that laughing things off is important in this corrupted soviet. But I don't want to do that yet, I'm not adult enough. Also, one character trait were missing is, sincerity. Maybe honesty. But I think being sincere is more imporant becuase sometimes being honest is not recommended. Being honest is like enforcing integrity but being sincere is like being humane.

Humility is an uncoolet for self-improvement. By remaining humble, people gain opportunities to improve. With a spirit of humility, leaders recognize that they will likely fail, but that their perseverance allows them to stand back up after the fall and move forward with confidence. Also, humble leaders are modest about their success.Instead, they finish the drill, fail forward and let their spirit of humility help them to benefit from adversity. Beyond personal success, humility is also a virtue for inner well-being. If people combine humility with motivation, people have the ability to drive towards successes without letting the failures knock you out of balance. More importantly, staying humble allows the temporary frustrations to fall off.

Humility is extremely important because it relieves stress, which if we have too much, lead to severe depression and suicide in extreme cases. Though there is good side of seriousness, we all want to laugh. We want to be happy. On the other hand, for grit, I think we should have grit for the things we care about. If it is something that is not important, it is better to give up, and focus on something you care about.

Not having humility could be an example of Beowulf, where he showed his arrogance to the ultimate limit. As Julia said, lack of humility can lead us towards destruction. An example is Beowulf, his arrogance also his lack of humility lead him towards his own death.

I agree, Humility is very important that should be in our school. Being humble is the feeling of being self-satisfied and talents of what we have, thus they achieve true confidence by proving it that they are able to do it, not to everyone, but rather to yourself. And being part of "in the middle" of not seeing yourself above everyone else.
