Many years ago, a rider came across some soldiers who were trying to move a heavy log without success. The
corporal was standing by as the men struggled. The rider asked the corporal why he wasn't helping. The corporal
replied, "I am the corporal; i give orders." The
rider dismounted, went up and stood by the soldiers and as they were lifting the log, he helped them. With his
help, the log got moved. The rider quietly mounted his horse and went to the corporal and said, "The next time
your men need help, send for the Commander-in-Chief." After he left, the corporal and his men found out that the
rider was George Washington.
The message is pretty clear. Success and humility go hand in hand. When others blow your horn, the sound goes
further. Just think about it? Simplicity and humility are two hallmarks of greatness. Humility does not mean self-
demeaning behavior. That would amount to belittling oneself.
