dont be too smart for your own good: the importance of humility, being thankful, & gratefulness

dont think you are too smart to have all the answers.  wit, brilliance, intelligence, potential, motivation, desire, & drive are all important.  but being humble about your brilliance is also an important part of being successful.  you always see people at the Oscars so thankful for winning the Academy Award that they never forget to thank the little people.  you know.  all the usual suspects...starting with God and going all the way on down the line down to the very last person who worked on the movie with them.  thankfulness & gratefulness for everything you have earned on the journey is like a major deal.  so, dont forget to say thank you once in awhile (in fact, often)...and no one will ever forget your name, who you are, or what you stand for.  because, that is honorable, and having dignity & class never goes out of style, no matter what fashions are on the runway in Milan that summer.  i speak the truth.
