When Humility Meets Ego: My Office Showdown
Let me tell you about the day my humility was truly tested. Picture this: a bustling New York office, the air thick with ambition and caffeine. I’d just finished a major project, pouring my soul into every detail. But when my boss praised me in front of everyone, my coworker, Jake, cut in—claiming most of the credit. My face burned with confusion and anger. I wanted to shout, to defend myself, but something held me back. Wasn’t humility about letting go of ego? I bit my tongue, but inside, a storm raged. Later, I found Jake by the coffee machine. Instead of confrontation, I asked for his perspective. We both admitted our flaws—me, for craving recognition; him, for feeling overlooked. We agreed to support each other, not compete. Have you ever faced a moment where your humility was put to the test? How did you handle it? 😤🤯😅
