In my experience, professionals who are best in any field approach their work with humility. They know that their work is more than just a job. It's an exploration of life.

That's humbling - or should be.

I believe that the first test of a great man is his humility. I don't mean by humility, doubt of his power. But really great men have a curious feeling that the greatness is not of them, but through them. And they see something divine in every other man and are endlessly, foolishly, incredibly merciful.
John Ruskin

Arthur Helps
