I have to say that I have been taught a different definition of
humility than what you have. What I have been taught is that
humility <i>is </i>truthfulness about one's self and one's
abilities. What everyone believes as humility is actually a form of
self denigration.<br>

Take pride in what you can, be honest about the rest, and don't
worry about 'being humble'.
