There is but will anyone notice with their nose in the air? ;)

One has to wonder; there are still a few humble people in this world but, they are growing fewer and farther between. It is quite refreshing to see a real humble individual. Well done.

Nice guys finish last, as Leo Doroucher (baseball player, manager, and true sob) stated over 50 years ago. Poetic justice -- Leo (the Lip, as he was known, for his big mouth) managed the Chicago Cubs baseball team to a last-place finish the very next year! ~ Gershon

Sadly it seems not, attitudes have changed so much with arrogance becoming the norm. Tom.

Yes. It is very sad to see this. We won't mention any names, but the 'leaders of our time' sure do set the tone, and have been for a while now... Thanks for the comment, Tom. Best wishes, Gershon

So true, Jan! One definition of arrogance might be -- false humility. There you go! Best wishes, Gershon
