The holy scriptures remind us that God gives grace to the humble and resists the proud. But being humble is not easy when you're so cool! :cool-relaxed:

Is being humble hard for you too?

I was joking about being cool - not to say that I am not cool ... after all I have cool headphones

A few months ago I was the big star at the festival
Voelegem. Everywhere aanplak bills with my picture. hung those banners above the streets with my name in such huge letters.
And again I had that night so wildly enthusiastic crowd in the village. But when I returned to my hotel room all alone.
Ahhh
Yes it will be more said that night. So in my hotel room, I thought about the problem I like big star yet actually a bit about it. I grabbed my guitar and wrote a song that goes like this:
It's hard to stay humble when you're as good as me.
So tough so charming and so nice that you see in a moment.
I think when I look in the mirror, there is a great guy.
It's difficult to stay modest, for a guy with so much talent. Yes Yes
The most beautiful girls, who have seen me once.
Coming right at my feet, at least ten on each toe.
I even lie well with the men, but it also gives me though no kick.
Because there is no one in the world that is as good and perfect as I am.
It's hard to stay humble when you're as good as me.
So tough so charming and so nice you see that in a moment.
I think when I look in the mirror, there stands a great guy.
It's difficult to stay modest, for a guy with so much talent. Yes Yes
so does that:
I do not want filmcareer like Hauer, the Pinafore, Krabbé.
And that's their luck again, so I keep them w. w.
If I could use my talent, I was top of the bill.
and although it's just, you get cocky,
and that's precisely what I don't want.

It's hard to be humble when you steal songs as good as me.

I heard it said that the moment you think you are humble, you are not.

Fr. Patrick maned the gift shop at the monastery. He was just one of the most gentle persons you could know and if you asked him why his signature response would be "its Christ in me". He'd never take credit for anything of goodness in life himself.

Awwwww, shucks! That's so sweet of you to say that. :)
I'm afraid I'll have to agree! :=D:
I heard it said that the moment you think you are humble, you are not.
Oh. Okay. Then in THAT case, ... I'm NOT humble!
No wait! WHAT? (darn, this IS a pickle)

Bet he was proud of that response! :=D:
(Just kidding, Tigger, sounds like what we should all be saying, really! Galations 2:20 ... One of my all time favorites, although I never really pick, there's so many. GBU
