Hello my friends, The two most important words: "Thank you." The most important word :"WE", The least important word:"I". There is an old saying that goes, "It needs more skill than I can tell, to play the second fiddle well". Along that line, Leonard Bernstein was once asked which instrument was the most difficult to play. He thought for a moment and said, "the second fiddle.I can get plenty of first violinists,but to find someone who can play the second fiddle with enthusiasm- thats a problem. And if we have no second fiddle, we have no harmony". General Robert E.Lee was a man who knew the value of playing second fiddle. This great general never stopped being a true southern genleman. Once, while riding on a train to Richmond,he was seated at the rear of the car. All the other places were filled with officers and soldiers. A poorly dressed, elderly woman boarded the coach at a rural station, and finding no seat offered to her, she trudged down the aisle toward the back og the car. Immediately, Lee stood up and offered her his place. One after another of the men then arose and offered the general his seat. "No, gentle- men,"he replied, "If there is none for this lady, there can be none for me!" Genuine humility is what prompts us to offer a heartfelt thank you and to favor others over ourselves. Do not be selfish... Be humble,Thinking of others as better than yourself. Philippians 2:3 Many Blessings to all my friends,Kathy Martin

hello Kath, Humility is something to learn not something we are born with and a very cherished trait. Thank you for sharing so much today lisa

Kathy, You are too much, but I guess it does take a bit of mustering if you are gonna play two fiddles LOL Thanks Again Sincerely, Manuel D.

Hello Lisa, Humility,it is something that needs cultivation, we all know humility we learned it as babies. We all learned how to suck up to Mama, so to continue and make it work for us in the adult world, we need to nurture, hone and cultivate those already attained skills. Mama wasn’t easily pleased, so we all have a splendid jumping off point. Humility, is the art of looking pitiful and getting what you want as a byproduct, work on it because we all have that side of us that side that is devious and the other side that is honest and caring. No matter what side shows to the public, we all have them both. Me myself, I prefer being humble at all times, unless angered but that is another story, being a rather large man, I tend to make people feel uneasy, so I am always humble because when people fear you, they are always dangerous and untrustworthy. Just a little food for thought anda tip to the other wise, Wise... Respectfully, Manuel D.
