Humility

I was listening to a webcast today that was discussing humility and the importance in business.  I think people should probably take humility as a regular lesson both in business as in life.  You really get nowhere alone, but rather by being humble and having others appreciated help. 
Oddly enough it became a theme today.  My husband texted me from a webinar talking about how a big name IT company was going on and on about how they are going to take over the IT world.  It's good to know your worth.  But thinking that your worth is all that matters is absurd.
 
I have one response to both- one in agreement and one as a reminder...

Ozymandias


by Percy Bysshe Shelley

I met a traveler from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal these words appear:
“My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look upon my works, ye Mighty, and despair!”
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
